Review of Anomalisa (2015) by Marco34La — 31 Dec 2015
The original trailer for this movie was wonderful. It made me want to go see this movie. If you're expecting anything warm and fuzzy or life-affirming or deeply moving... then you should pass. This 'short' is a slice of life and a very slim one at that.
It's about a man who's traveling on a business trip to give a lecture and he's obviously having a miserable day/life. All the other characters in this flick have the same faces and the same exact man's voice.
Through this monotonous din, he hears a unique voice - lisa. What happens next is brief and unfulfilling in my opinion and was not thrilled with the ending. As a 'psychological' statement on life for some - it's a good one, but that statement is short and we don't need it to be fleshed out into a 90 min flick.
I have no idea why NY Times et al, gave this flick such a great review. If it were live action - it would have been panned.
