	Author	Review
United States	Lou Lumenick New York Post	"'Adult World' proceeds by fits and starts, but fans of Cusack won’t want to miss his performance as the petulant poet, whose resistance is inevitably worn down by his persistent fan. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Ronnie Scheib Variety	"The improvisational zeal with which Cusack approaches his role (...) is particularly fun to watch."	POS
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"John Cusack delivers a deliciously deadpan performance in this uneven and self-consciously quirky dark comedy."	NEU
