Review of Anomalisa (2015) by Keaton K — 03 Jan 2016

HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!!! So disappointed with this movie. As a huge puppet stop motion animation fan, and a Kaufman fan, I was so excited to see this film. The film making was good, but the story line was barely there.

They scratched the surface of a few plot points, but nothing really happened. I heard so many good reviews, and I do not understand what I was missing. The depression/alone in the world storyline was something that peaked my interest in the trailer and reviews, but it was just plain unlikable and unrelatable in the film.

I wonder if this had been directed by someone more experienced with stop animation, if they would have been able to build a more captivating story. So much of this film was spent on characters just ..

.. pacing around.
