Adulthood starts strong with two siblings discovering a body hidden in their parent’s basement. The beginning is tense and pulls you in right away. It sets up a story that feels both dark and exciting.
As it goes on, the film gets more chaotic. The story keeps building, but sometimes it loses direction and the twists don’t always land. It doesn’t ruin the film, but the middle section feels less sharp than the start.
Josh Gad is the standout here. He brings real weight and emotion to his role, and his performance keeps the film grounded. Every scene he’s in feels more alive, and he balances the darker tone with a sense of humanity that the story really needs.
I liked how it tried to say more than just being a crime mystery. The focus on family secrets, guilt and the way people carry the mistakes of the past gives it another layer. Even when the plot drifts, the themes stay interesting.
The dark look of the film and the constant mood shifts give it a strong style, even in its weaker moments.
Overall, I thought it was okay. It’s not perfect and sometimes feels uneven, but I still liked it. The acting and themes make it worth watching, especially if you enjoy darker dramas.
