Review of Mary and Max (2009) by Rahul B — 14 Feb 2013
You wouldn't predict that claymation would be such a great medium to explore issues of alcoholism, loneliness, depression and Asperger's syndrome but it works very well. With it's faux child's story narration, you are lulled into its fairy-tale rhythms then forced to take a new perspective when confronted with its very tough adult themes.
It's an uncomfortable but very effective contrast, like finding a suicide note written with fridge magnets.
