Adam & Paul (2004)
Directed by Lenny Abrahamson
Adam and Paul are two young junkies living in Dublin and perpetually on the lookout for their next fix. During their search, they encounter various unsavoury characters and make some futile attempts at petty theft. As their day progresses, Adam and Paul get into a good share of trouble as they do whatever they can to score heroin, eventually running afoul of an imposing thug—who only drags them into more shady activities.

What critics compared Adam & Paul to
The important thing here is that Lenny Abrahamson’s ( Adam & Paul , What Richard Did ) movie is faithful in spirit, and for that we can rejoice.
Luckily, helmer Lenny Abrahamson (“Garage,” “Adam & Paul”) puts the pic’s eccentricity to good use, luring in skeptics with jokey surrealism and delivering them to a profoundly moving place.
Directed by celebrated Irish filmmaker Lenny Abrahamson ("Adam & Paul" and the tonally 180, "What Richard Did"), “Frank” might be unconventional, but the director largely keeps its style straight, letting the performances, musical or otherwise, shine.
Director Lenny Abrahamson knows his way around eccentrics; just see Adam & Paul or Garage or What Richard Did.
From the Beckett-inflected riffs of Adam & Paul to the domesticated sociopathy of What Richard Did , Abrahamson has proved himself an astute observer of "borderline" behaviour.
