Review of Harvie Krumpet (2003) by Ryan M — 09 Dec 2010
8.3/10.
While not as masterful, touching, or funny as "Mary and Max", Adam Elliot's "Harvie Krumpet" is a short film that would have made me want more of his flamboyant oddity. "Harvie Krumpet" manages to teach a solid life lesson-be it familiar-while incorporating a wacky sense of humor into the mix. The stop-motion is good for a first effort, and the story it tells sort of comes out short, sweet, and to the point. And that's what I love about it. Touching, depressing, although undeniably charming and hilarious; "Harvie Krumpet" is a definite must-see for the animation crowd, whether you find the film's daring ambitions to be a selling point or not. Either way, Adam Elliot has something going for him whenever he plans to make something new. I imagine that stop-motion will be his filmmaking life, and I'm OK with that. By all means, I support the man in his quest for furthermore perfection.
