Adam

Synopsis

First-time feature director Rhys Ernst brings Ariel Schrag’s funny, unconventional, and controversial boy-meets-girl novel to life with razor-sharp wit and honesty, nailing a satirical look at the nuances of sexual identity and the details of this early-2000s period. Nicholas Alexander carefully imbues Adam with vulnerability, complicating easy assessments in this unapologetic, sweetly subversive, and raw coming-of-age comedy.
