Enjoyable animation marred by sound problems

Rating: 7/10 (4 October 2019)

I enjoyed spending time with Max and Mary and learning about their struggles with life and their attempts to understand and overcome. It is a quite dark but entertaining tale which includes consideration of the day to day impact of conditions such as loneliness and Asperger's syndrome. It is irreverent, but I think the overall message is one of hope and understanding.
I saw this on Amazon Prime. It was one of those gems that are buried away on the site. I found it by chance, searching the name of the film as it was recommended on Kermode & Mayo.
I do not know if this is unique to Prime, but the sound was off - with the narration way too low in the soundscape so that it could not be heard clearly or at all when there was music or background sound.
