Review of Adam

Adam (IV) (2019)
9/10
Convincing story, lots of nuance, beautifully shot!
27 December 2020
This was beautiful. Taking place mainly in a domestic setting, the film focuses on the interactions unfolding between two women and their personal stories to tell of their struggles with the world outside, social stigma and having to make difficult decisions in this context. It seemed like it was made with a Moroccan, and maybe more generally Arab audience that understands the context, which I loved and gave lots of space for nuance. The open ending felt right and like it was a conscious decision by the director. If I had one complaint, it would be that the characters could've have more depth to their stories. At times they seemed a little flat. Otherwise I really enjoyed this film!
