A wonderful film

Rating: 10/10 (13 September 2011)

"Mary and Max" is an excellent film.
Juts like in his previous short, "Harvie Krumpet" Adam Elliot manages to make a incredible combination of hope and bleakness, alternating black comedy with lots of heartwarming moments. Taking that in consideration, the plot can move from a light-hearted scene into a very dramatic one, but those changes of mood are never gratuitous or forced.
Instead of that, the plot from this movie flows in a fascinating, unpredictable way, were the light and the darkness are part of the same story, complementing each other.
I guess that some viewers will think that the characters from this movie are "ugly", but, personally, I found their "ugliness" appealing: The beauty of this movie is completely different to the generic stuff that you see in most of the recent (Animated or live action)movies, making them unique, and therefore, endearing.
Despite the fact that it deals with many serious issues(Such as depression, suicide, death and solitude) and flawed characters, I truly enjoyed "Mary and Max". I loved the whole bittersweet aspect of it.
10/10
