Sublime film of warmth, humour and power

"You are my best friend. You are my only friend." In this cinematic era of computer animation, the art of claymation (for which hand-moulded figurines are painstakingly photographed one frame at a time) is slowly dissolving. Aardman Studios (the guys behind Wallace and Gromit) seem to be the only ones who still possess the patience required to continue the practise into the 21st Century. It's ther... read more

Underrated treasure of inspiration and tragedy.

After reading many fantastic reviews of this film and the fact that Mary And Max still wasn't released in Britain despite it has been released for a year, I just couldn't resist watching it. What I got out of this was 90 minutes of raw emotion, dark comedy and mind-blowing animation. It is an extremely underrated film that should have been nominated for Best Animated Picture to be tough competitio... read more

O diretor e roteirista australiano Adam Elliot, da animação “Harvie Krumpet” (2003) premiada com Oscar de melhor curta, retoma sua combinação de fantasia mordaz em claymation (animação feita com moldes de argila) para traçar vinte anos de um improvável amizade no conto sincero e sombrio “Mary and Max”(2009).

Description: Academy Award-winning Harvie Krumpet director Adam Elliot returns to the world of clay animation with this simple tale of the innocent correspondence between a portly eight year old girl from the suburbs of Melbourne and a morbidly obese, middle-aged Jewish New Yorker suffering from Asperger's Syndrome. On the surface it would seem that Mary (Toni Collette) and Max (Philip Seymour Hoffman) would have little in common, but over the course of twenty years, the unlikely pen pals exchange letters discussing everything from taxidermy, trust, pets, religion, obesity, autism, agoraphobia, alcoholism, and just about any other topic that ...

“Mary and Max é um filme australiano independente stop motion em preto e branco que narra a história de dois personagens. Max Horowitz, um homem velho, judeu e ateu que tem síndrome de asperger. E Mary Daisy Dinkle uma jovem nascida em um bairro pobre Austrália, não muito sociável e que parece ter problemas parecidos com Max, ao ser introvertida e com nenhum amigo além de Max. Ambos se comunicam por cartas da qual relatam as coisas do dia a dia fora algumas histórias pessoais, sendo esse o ponto alto do filme ao explorar psicologicamente a mente deturpada de Max. O filme é quase inteiramente narrado cedendo espaço para algumas falas dos personagens. Em termos de animação possui um estilo bastante diferenciado das animações convencionais, sendo parecida em alguns aspectos com o” read more

"Re-watch - Dec. 5th I finally picked this up on Blu this year after realizing it was the only one of my top 10 films that I didn't have a physical copy of. That just won't do. And I still love the look & feel of the film, the characters & how the story plays out, & you best believe that ending still moves me. I noticed some details I'd missed or forgotten from the last 2 times I sat through it, & I'd bet I'll pick up more in the future. I don't think my daughter would appreciate it yet, so I'm "

" Notes: Since I kept hearing some really impressive things about this movie (for example, it has been on the IMDb top 250 for a while already), I was really eager to check this flick and I had some rather high expectations. Well, to be be honest, even though I found many things to admire, I can't say it really blew me away though. I mean, it is definitely a gorgeous stop motion animated feature, probably one of the very best I have ever seen, at least in this area. The main issue I had is that"
