Review of Anomalisa (2015) by Moviemitch96 — 23 Jan 2016
The film's premise was very interesting to me and I'm always interested to see what genius ideas Charlie Kaufman has to serve up to audiences. The result this time around is a thoughtful yet somewhat uneven film that didn't seem too sure of what direction it wanted to go in.
What started with a promising first half quickly faded by the time the third act rolled around, which became rather muddled and rushed. On the plus side, David Thewlis and Jennifer Jason Leigh as the two lead voice talents felt perfectly cast and fit the model of their characters rather well.
Overall, the whole stop-motion idea was an interesting choice and the film's story also had some fun little quirks and ideas to show, but I still can't help but feel like it came up rather short of my expectations, as well as its potential.
