Dancy's eye-opening performance reveals he's a bona-fide acting talent, capable of carrying a movie without ever playing to your affections.
Miami Herald
Adam does not have the dramatic clout of a Rain Man, but with its sweet depictions and astute observations, it establishes a poignant and meaningful connection with its audience.

The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY)
Rating: B --
There's no getting around the character's plight as an eternal outsider or the natural sympathy it draws. But writer-director Mayer never loses control of this fact, offering a story that's both sweet and tart, unique and familiar.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
Too neatly packaged for my taste, Adam's rigid structure leaves the characters serving the story rather than the story expanding the characters.

Adam is a tender and well acted love story that does not resort to cliché nonsense in its depiction of mental illness, yet a clunky sub-plot distracts from its unique version of boy meets girl.
