Adam

In Adam, a beautiful, simple, heartbreaking film, Rose Byrne and Hugh Dancy play New Yorkers who meet in the laundry room of their glorious Manhattan brownstone. She’s lovely, he’s handsome, she’s a school teacher who wants to write children’s books, he’s got Asperger’s Syndrome, which essentially means he’s high functioning autistic. 

Whoa! The record scratches.

Adam was one of our favorite movies at Sundance and it hits theaters today.

Hugh Dancy, our beloved Brit, talked to BlackBook this month about the problematic side of playing a man with Asperger's Syndrome in Adam (out August 7):

“This project was rife with opportunities for me to f**k it up enormously and, by doing so, prove my own limitations. To botch the whole thing would have been calamitous.”

Claire Danes is a lucky woman.

Ever since we saw Adam at Sundance, we have quite the soft spot for her man, Hugh Dancy.

This weekend, the couple stepped out to the DGA Awards looking every inch the perfect Hollywood twosome.

You gotta love that she matched her dress to his eyes.

Anyone who’s been watching our video posts or reading our Sundance reports knows we adored Adam, the delicate love story of a man with Asperger’s Syndrome (the outstanding Hugh Dancy) and the woman who falls for him (Damages’ Rose Byrne).

We are thrilled to report the film was picked up by Fox Searchlight earlier this week.

In this beautiful, simple, heart breaking film, Rose Byrne and Hugh Dancy, an Aussie and a Brit, play New Yorkers who meet in the laundry room of their glorious Manhattan apartment building. She’s lovely, he’s handsome, she’s a school teacher who wants to write children’s books, he’s got Asperger’s Syndrome, which essentially means he’s highly functioning but borderline autistic. 

The record scratches.
