this is a beautiful movie

Rating: 10/10 (11 December 2011)

I don't think I've ever given a ten before but this movie really deserves it. The choice of animation works extremely well and facilitates the telling of a touching story in a humorous but warm style. Offering a unique insight into and a balanced appraisal of the attitudes towards mental illness the movie challenges the very notion of what constitutes mental illness. For Max actually likes being Max, he doesn't want to be cured! It is a great shame that a movie as good as this failed to get the promotion it deserved but its the kind that will stand the test of time and entertain and educate many more for years to come. Highly recommended.
