Review of Anomalisa (2015) by Ija — 19 Jan 2016

I was confused by this movie. Perplexed. The film poster proclaims a masterpiece, and life changing film... but I feel like i've missed something. really? it seemed mundane and anti climatic. I feel like im the butt of a joke. That I don't understand. That someone made a mock film poster and now they are having a chuckle at people scratching their heads trying to figure out why people like this movie. Maybe it will be like the lobster where it will slowly dawn me why people found this movie compoleing. But it seems strange. Maybe there was something odd going on that I haven't fully realised. Some people have stated that his relationship with lisa was a fantasy and he was making love to the japanese doll, that he gave to his son?!

Really a mundane movie, but maybe that is the point... he's living a lost mundane existence and he meets a girl and that changes his life until she too because the same as everyone else.. anyone i'm a bit lost on this movie I am utterly shocked that rolling stone et al have called this a masterpiece..

I feel like I have missed a piece.
