The actors were fantastic, especially Hugh Dancy. The movie was disappointing. Why do they always portray people with Asperger's as a higher functioning version of Rain Man? People with Asperger's don't act like the character Adam in this movie. I just wish after this movie and "Mozart and the Whale" that someone with AS could be portrayed much more realistically.
Both actors were absolutely fantastic in Adam. Having attended a school dedicated to individuals with autism (incl. aspergers), I understand the complexities of playing a character of this nature. However, Hugh truly shone as Adam. To be honest, he 'made' this film. Rose also acted beautifully.
I'm guessing at that point beliefnet's budget was limited to only calculators, because that's what it looks like this video was shot with.
Anyways, they're both lovely. I was amused when Rose tried finding her pockets with her hands while staring at the camera.
