Mary & Max

Why this did not cause any fuss at the cinema i do not know. There isn't anyone in their right mind who can watch 'Mary & Max' and simply come out with "was alright.." If anybody ever did say that then they've got no fucking clue.
Mary & Max is an instant classic for me. It's a touching story of how a young girl from Australia decides that she wants to make a friend and so sends a letter to a middle-aged man in America asking where baby's come from in the States. A friendship builds between them and gets stronger as they grow older. It is definitely a weird film. It pushes the boundaries like no other animated film i have seen. Yet it still maintains itself to be a thing of real beauty. Also, just because it's an animation with childish type ideas like chocolate hot-dogs and baby's coming from something other than sex, this is very much a film for adults. The issues in both Mary and Max's life are those that only adults can really understand. For example, Max is diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome and Mary's mother is a raging alcoholic. Max is voiced by academy award winner Philip Seymour-Hoffman and the film boasts a number of other stars including Eric Bana (Chopper) and Toni Collette (Muriel's Wedding). It really is a triumph and a masterpiece and an absolute joy to watch. I Couldn't be more sure that this film deserves a five star rating.
