Review of Mary and Max (2009) by Choo T — 22 Apr 2011
I recently rewatched this and I wanted to change my review from a general public response's to a critic's response. This movie blew me away. I was expecting a somewhat dark,happy-go-lucky kid's movie.
NO! I got a majestic,dark,heartwarming,and somewhat strange tale. It's about a girl named Mary Daisy Dinkle from Australia who has no friends,a neglecting dad,an alcoholic and kleptomaniac mom,and a pet rooster.
She gets bored and lonely and one day at the post office,she randomly picks a name out of the New York phonebook and writes to him. He is Max Jerry Horowitz,an athiest who's a victim of Asperger's syndrome and also has no friends.
The tale is majestically told,wonderfully animated,and a true attraction to the psychological mind. I love it. Phillip Seymour Hoffman sure knows how to put up a voice as Max! The score is great too. I'm addicted to Pink Martini's "Que Sera Sera"! The end will not only make you cry,but will tug the heartstrings with a satisfied thud.
Overall,an epic movie.
