Adam Elliot’s Mary & Max is a very interesting film I’ve watched. It portrays a long distance friendship between a young girl from Australia and an older man with Asperger’s from New York City. It’s a pretty hefty emotional rollercoaster, but one that many have also described as heartwarming.
After searching this site, I have seen passing mentions of this film, but nothing dedicated to discussing personal opinions. What are your thoughts on the movie, if any? If you haven’t seen it, I believe it is still free on Youtube with ads… which can be circumvented if you know what to do, of course.
Personally, the film has become one of my favorites I’ve seen. I relate to Max immensely, the relationship between the titular two is endearing, and the claymation is gorgeous. Though what should also be mentioned is that there is heavy subject matter that might turn some people away, mainly regarding substance abuse.
