Steve Watched A Movie: ‘Mary and Max’…

I’ve never taken the time to write a review of a movie, but I felt compelled to start.
Through my pre-paid streaming video service I found a little gem called, ‘Mary and Max’. This film is as visually beautiful and moving as it is funny and dark. I rarely tear up watching human actors, let alone claymation, but this film had me laughing out-loud and dabbing my eyes at the end.
A beautifully crafted film that depicts a couple of unlikely pen-pals who meet strictly by chance. Mary a young girl in Australia who has no friends, finds Max’s name and address in a phone book and writes to him, initiating a long-term friendship.  Max is a middle-aged man with Asperger’s Syndrome who also suffers from the lack of friends.
The film is kinda black and white, with occasional shots of color to highlight a tongue, or a dress, or some other item.
It has a sad kind of mood yet still makes you laugh. The character development was great and the story was entertaining.
If you like dark art and comedy that makes you think, this film has everything for a perfect movie night.
Thanks for checking out my first installment of , “Steve Watched A Movie”. Next Tuesday Ill be reviewing the film, ‘Gramma’s Boy‘, I’ve heard its funny.
