Anomalisa
Directed by Duke Johnson, Charlie Kaufman
Michael Stone, an author that specializes in customer service, is a man who is unable to interact deeply with other people. His low sensitivity to excitement, and his lack of interest made him a man with a repetitive life on his own perspective. But, when he went on a business trip, he met a stranger - an extraordinary stranger, which slowly became a cure for his negative view on life that possibly will change his mundane life.
Where to Watch Anomalisa
- CubaneJanuary 2, 2026Michael is a depressed muppet who wonders why his life sucks so much while he treats everyone around him with utter contempt. Lisa is a bingo on the "quirky love interest" trope. And every single other character is just same person in different doll clothes for Michael to abuse. They call it animation, but the human figures are creepy and unpleasant to look at. They call it comedy, but it's not funny. They call it drama, but I hated every character depicted. So what's left? Just ninety minutes of filler I guess. Being John Malkovich is the same director and style, but much more enjoyable.
