This postapocalyptic thriller with a huge heart stands out for its poignant take on suicidal tendencies, which is why I believe it to be destined for classic status in the future. A tense, yet tender-hearted tale of how the world could end and begin anew, CALL ME ADAM is a masterpiece. Solid ten out of five!
