Such a frustrating disappointment

So much average

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

The Claymation character 'Michael Stone' is on a business trip to deliver a speech on customer service, he meets a woman and they find an emotional connection.This is a unique animated film, the themes being explored are loneliness, isolation, vulnerabilities, social awkwardness, and fear of rejection.This is really fascinating film.
There are some deep messages.
It's about as perfect as you can imagine.
You won't watch anything like it!This is one of the easiest maximum scored I've ever awarded.

Michael is a customer service guru on jaunt in a nondescript hotel. He is jaded and misanthropic, everyone around him seems to get on his nerves. And these is a sameness about them... The ennui is wonderfully conveyed, and the process of using puppets in stop-motion adds to the sense of non-belonging and dislocation. Michael's dark soul is complemented by Lisa and her zest for life. The burgeoning relationship is both awkward and sweet, but, we sense, ultimately doomed. The sense of a man in middle-age crisis, of people living compartmentalised lives, is fully conveyed. There is some nice humour and pathos. But ultimately nothing much changes for Michael or Lisa, and any greater insight to life's many questions is not forthcoming. Take away the puppets and the process, and you are left with a film that says not very much at all.

Very realistic, almost depressing. Good animation, liked the cinematography, yet I don't like the idea of watching it again.

Pure cinematic magic. Finely tuned. Lovely stop motion animations. Written and co- directed by Charlie Kaufman, it's an extraordinary vision. Based on a play by Kaufman - starring David Thewlis, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Tom Noon, who also voice the movie - "Anomalisa" (2015) is a bittersweet and humorous depiction of the loneliness and mundanity of life. In some ways, it feels more real than life itself.
