REVIEW
Relationships are never easy and definitely far more complicated if one person is socially inept. Dealing with a sensitive subject can be tricky but this little film pulls it off beautifully, largely because it comes across as real.
Acting by both principals is uniformly good and the chemistry between them believable. Although the movie could get “mushy” it never does.
CLASSIFICATION
for thematic material, sexual content and language.
FOR NITPICKERS ONLY
• Beth comes out the front door of the apartment building but leaves it slightly ajar. She then sits down on the steps beside Adam and behind her the door is now closed. When she stands up to go back into the building the door once more is ajar.
• Beth’s father calls her Bethany but she tells Adam her full name is Elizabeth.
