Review of Mary and Max (2009) by Jason P — 05 Jul 2011
Mary and Max is one of the best animated films I've seen in quite some time. Joining the list of outstanding animated features such as Up, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Coraline, and Wall-E, although not at all for kids, Mary and Max breaks new ground, by creating a genuinely adult relationship filled with adult situations, and frequently grabbing hold of the heart in doing it.
Sure, there are moments here that are depressing, but by the end you've taken a sweet journey into the lives of these two "people", and feel enriched in doing so. Philip Seymour Hoffman's performance is amazing, actually one of his best, in my opinion to date.
You can hardly tell it's his voice, he so fully embodies the character of Max. Take some time and meet these two, it's worth it.
