Spanning 20 years and 2 continents, MARY AND MAX tells of a pen-pal relationship between two very different people.
Much like Adam Elliot's earlier film Harvie Krumpet (also on the DVD as a bonus feature) Mary and Max left me speechless and haunted me for days. This is a fantastic example of stop motion animation and shows that animated films can carry just as much emotional weight and importance as any live action film. No DVD collection should be without it.
Pathos so hard it hurts, laughter so long you cry. 3 dimensional characters in a 2 dimensional world. If this has not yet won an award why not? animation doesn't get any better.

Toni Collette, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Eric Bana and Barry Humphries provide the voice talents for this darkly comic, Australian, claymation-animated feature charting the 20-year correspondence of two extremely unlikely pen pals. When their epistolary alliance begins, Mary Dinkle is an eight-year-old girl living in the suburbs of Melbourne with her alcoholic mother and inattentive father, while Max Horowitz is an obese 40-something Jewish New Yorker prone to panic attacks. The only thing the two have in common is their friendlessness and profound sense of alienation. Spanning two continents and two decades, their extraordinary friendship helps them both through life's highs and lows as they grapple with the everyday troubles of modern existence.
