Career

Adler's break came when the British Film Institute asked her to develop her short film Touch and Go into a full-length feature.[1] The result was Under the Skin, the screenplay for which took her two years to write.[2] According to Richard Armstrong in The Rough Guide to Film, "What distinguishes her small oeuvre is the fusion of her protagonists' desire and their sense of inferiority."[3]

Personal life

Adler is the second wife of former British government minister Dr John Reid, Baron Reid, whom she married in 2002.[4] She has a son, Hal, from a previous marriage, and two stepsons with Reid.
