Mary and Max is the latest movie to fall from the Netflix instant queue.This one was a Carolina addition, which usually means we're in for something light and sweet or dark and filled with crazy people. Mary and Max manages to balance all of that in this truly amazing claymation animated feature about the pen pal relationship between a lonely little Australian girl and an obese, middle-aged Jewish atheist New Yorker with Asperger syndrome.
Directed by Oscar-winning (Harvie Krumpet) Australian filmmaker Adam Elliot, the film deals with very intense issues like mental illness, alcoholism, suicide, bullying and a bunch of other craziness without losing its sense of humor.
It's sad, funny, amazing to look at and no longer in our queue.
69 and counting...
