Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

besherat I watched the film " Mary and Max " ,beautiful Australian animation by Adam Elliot, based on a true story. It is about the friendship between a lonely girl in Australia and a lonely man in America. Through many years of friendship that held, writing letters to each other, resolve their psychological problems and situations ,that life bring to them . In the film, I saw a book that I read "I'm OK, you are OK" .Through the film runs a beautiful music , famous songs like Zorba's Dance and Que sera, sera.

lmandorla I'm sure why this film was never popular or well-recognized. It's just so good. I accidentally found it and felt like discovering treasure. It's so original. Totally in love with it and wonder why haven't they make more like it.

quinimdb The wrinkly and awkward design of the characters and settings, as well as the dry dull color palette in "Mary and Max" gives the film a gross, clunky texture, and I wouldn't want it any other way, because, like the characters themselves, the animation style's (intentional) imperfection is what makes it so charming.The film's premise is simple, but the emotional complexity of the characters get the premise a long way. A 9 year old Australian girl sending a letter to a 44 year old obese man in New York out of curiosity, but mainly out of loneliness, and it just so happens that the very person she contacts is just as lonely and confused as she is. Almost the whole movie is done in voice over, much of it by a narrator and the rest by the main two characters, since all of their interactions are through letters and not physical dialogue, and much of what they are saying and thinking is animated to accompany the voice over. But even the narrator has a distinctive character to it, and Still, Philip Seymour Hoffman is able bring life into this idiosyncratic character of Max, fully embodying all his sincerity in every word, despite an inability to physically communicate his emotions. The effect of the visualization of the voice-over is a somewhat storybook- like tone to the film. But despite seemingly like a film intended for children on the surface, it reaches into the subjects of depression, childhood trauma, and living with a mental disability. While it treats these subjects with as much respect and seriousness as they deserve, at the core of the film is, of course, the sweet friendship between Mary and Max, and how they each serve as a solace; someone they can understand and depend on in a world filled with unpredictability. Because they each knew there would always be a friend that could appreciate them even with all their imperfections, they were both able to accept themselves for who they were, warts and all.
