Mary & Max
Directed by Adam Elliot
Mary Dinkle, en ganska ensam liten åttaårig flicka som bor i utkanten av Melbourne, Australien börjar brevväxla med Max Horovitz, 44, en kraftigt överviktig judisk man med Asperger som bor mitt i vimlet och kaoset i New York. Deras gemensamma livssaga spänner över tjugo år och två världsdelar och överlever väldigt mycket mer än livets allmänna berg- och dalbana.

Mary & Max Ratings & Reviews
- Elliot04730 januari 2026This is not made for kids; it's too dark, and that's the only issue I have. Rest is frankly awesome. Animation is not animation, but actual miniature props and puppets; that's a lot of art there, must have taken the prod team years. The story is also sweet, sensitive, and a subject that is handled with care and humour. Watchable, but my question remains the same: why make an animated film on such a dark subject when you know your audience is Adult? Just Why?
- annanelson714 januari 2026Bittersweet. Beautifully bizarre claymation that's primarily done in sepia tone and grayscale; story rich in vulnerability and unlikely friendship. I really appreciate the whimsy it brings to depictions of real life struggles. Some might find it too crude or dark at times, but, to me, this juxtaposition highlights the sort of innocence in perceiving the world literally. Score is a bit repetitive and lackluster. Phillip Seymour Hoffman's voice acting is fantastic.

- Rowan Krzysiak6 mars 2025A story that provides a rollercoaster of emotions all wrapped in an outstanding stop-motion package. It's highly creative, original, enjoyable and recommended.
- mickerdoo27 juli 2025The animation gave me the heebie jeebies. However, had some really funny gags and some heartfelt moments.
- [ e c k o b a s e ]5 februari 2025A great stop motion animation from Australia with the late great Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Toni Collette, based on a true story it was very heart felt and did tug on the heart strings showing that no matter how this world treats you there are friends who will always love you 'warts and all'
