Overview
Adam, a lonely man with Asperger's Syndrome, develops a relationship with his upstairs neighbor, Beth.
This was a charming little movie about a man on the spectrum trying to navigate through life and how is disease affects those around him. Was it a good portrayal of people with this disease? I have no idea so I am forced to review it from an entertainment perspective (which feels odd). I had empathy for both of the main characters and I think that is the takeaway. In his review of the movie Ebert said that he disliked the ending. I disagree – I thought it was probably the best part of the film. The two leads were excellent.
