Suffice it to say, that whatever conventional circumstances exist in the real world concerning lost and found children, best to enter this tale of somewhat biblical proportions as suggested in the title, with an extraordinarily open mind.

A stack of differing tones keep threatening to throw this film off balance, but this is the kind of indie film that gets by on its episodic structure allowing for a new character to emerge every so often and bring in a new energy to keep things likable.

Rated: 6/10

While much of the story feels like a string of missed opportunities to delve deeper into the characters and themes, I appreciate what this earnest self-discovery drama is going for. The material is universal, ringing with truth and sincerity.

Despite a refreshingly slow-burning pace and exquisite cinematography with visual style that evokes the works of David Lean, the film isn't as suspenseful or engrossing as it could've been with a more profound and unflinching screenplay.

Adam the First is an incredibly universal story. It digs deep into the themes of growing up, the fathers that raise us, and what it means to be a good man. These types of stories linger long in our hearts.

Rated: 3/4

Frequently feeling a bit shallow or underwritten (and sometimes even exasperating), this drama is nonetheless held together by its undeniable earnestness and poignant lead performance.

Rated: 3/5

I really enjoyed this film, well acted and a simple yet heartfelt story that had me until the end, I only wished the story would have gone on for a bit longer to see what happens next...but it's all good ! :)

It's not a sci-fi or fantasy feature but anyway you need gallons of suspension of disbelief to take anything serious in this movie. The stupid , shallow, silly and underscripted dialogues and scenes and lack of inspiration makes you think that there are written for a school play in a primary school. Why did the agent of Oakes Fegley tried to ruin the career of his very talented actor?

I have experienced the subject matter of the film multiple times in my life. I love how the film has a great pace and allows for audience members to form their own interpretations at times. At its core, this film shows the resilience of a young man seeking pieces missing from his own life narrative. It is a story that needs to be told more often and I hope theatres book it!
