Hannah Strong Little White Lies Wandel avoids easy answers – Adam's Sake is decidedly withholding of the facts, never quite revealing if Rebecca is acting in her son's best interests or suffering from a psychological condition herself. This is a strength. May 15, 2025 Full Review Peter Debruge Variety It’s an audacious strategy, not intended to impress so much as to immerse, which distinguishes “Adam’s Sake” from countless hospital-set procedurals. Wandel wants her audience to weigh the philosophical aspects of the situation. Rated: 3/5 May 14, 2025 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Screen International Wandel’s follow-up isn’t as morally complex and, given the steady flow of well polished hospital films and television dramas, also not as distinctive... Nevertheless, it remains an emotionally intelligent and taut entry in the field. May 15, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
