A wonderful journey

Rating: 8/10 (20 January 2015)

The details in this claymation movie are beyond outstanding. But, more importantly, the script is witty, original and moving.
The 2 main characters, a lonely, young girl in Australia and a mid-40s single male in NYC suffering from Asperger's (each beautifully voiced by Tino Collette and Phillip Seymour Hoffman, respectively), begin and maintain a pen-pal relationship that is initially random and bizarre but turns into the most important friendship for these 2 people who suffer from social isolation
The ups-and-downs in 2 decades of correspondence avoids the sugar-sweet path that could have easily been followed. Instead, we watch the growth of these two people, each with flaws, learn to accept the other and themselves.
