Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
quaydobusiness How do is start to explain to you how strong and powerful this movie could and how relatable it is? how it moved me literally, changed me, taught me new things new, new perspective, you may think i am overreacting but trust i am as close as it gets to being normal when it comes to this matter. the beauty of this movie the stop motion and the details are perfect. The story is rich with emotions, humor and really fun details, it gives you a vibe of life as if they you are living inside that realm. Watch it and you won't regret
alimadadi Years ago I had a chance to watch a dubbed version in Persian language. It was so touching that I watched it again the very same night.Later I watched English version too, it was great, but I liked the Persian dubbed version more. The dubbed version was so sad, probably the saddest movie I have ever seen.
cjs6547 Don't get me wrong, I avoid tragic movies like the plague. Nothing puts me off more than watching the ills of society in gritty detail on the silver screen. Even so, once I started watching this movie, it pulled me in like a close friend I had known for all my life, and told me to let my tears flow and be content.It's hard to explain what makes Mary and Max different from other tragedies or tragicomedies. For a start, while it is geared up visually and with a soundtrack guaranteed to generate tears, it does not milk emotions in a cheap way. The narration is delivered in simple factual sentences with some tongue-in-cheek humor. The characters are ALL complex, interesting and very human, and there is no entity that is entirely negative or a source of hate or contention. Instead, the source of the troubles of our protagonists are their own internal struggles as they stumble through life stages, trying to find happiness. I don't want to spoil what happens, because everyone should see this movie at least once. While the subject matter is definitely for adult audiences, its innocence and good will makes it a very comforting watch.
Smoreni Zmaj It would be cute if it wasn't morbid... The beginning is very promising and just when I thought it would become one of my favorites it starts to slip into ruin. Ideas and essence of this movie are great, but author simply does not know when to stop. There's a bunch of beautiful and witty scenes, destroyed by overdoing until they end up distasteful. I'm disappointed and sad to see such inspirational idea and quality realization messed up and spoiled with some completely unnecessary moments.6/10
