A distinct, eclectic, charming and poignant animation.

Rating: 9/10 (26 May 2014)

Mary and Max bring you into their world's with detail and character. The writing is inviting, sweet and very funny, but also allows for deep insight and raw poignancy. It truly is one of the best written animated films I of recent memory.
Essentially Mary and Max is a film about detailed troubled people searching for friendship. It takes a refreshing stance on life that I have certainly not seen in other films before.
The animation is beautifully characterive, and the soundtrack is stunning. But what I really like about Mary and Max is that it explores the lifelong questions of friendship, loneliness, anxiety and even suicide in a way that is as accessible to young teens as it is ground shaking for adults - it is rare that you find a film that is so honest and good natured..
