Mary and Max

Rating: 8/10 (5 November 2013)

'Mary and Max' is one of the best animated film ever made. It's the story of a true friendship, despite the two main characters never meet but only share their feelings through letters. But it's not only a story of friendship. The movie is so great that speaks about hard themes like teasing, loneliness, family problems, depression and the autism of Max, a 44 years old man (when the movie begins) that in several situations seems to see the world with the eyes of a child, the same eyes of Mary (especially in the first letters when, for example, they talk about the babies origins). It's hard to find a negative thing in this film and at the same time it's hard to understand why Mary and Max hadn't a nomination at Oscars for Best Animated Film. My rating is 9/10.
