Mary and Max (2009)
Movie
Released
The clay figures' awkward letters make an unlikely friendship feel dependent on ordinary effort: replying, misunderstanding and trying again. Adults may recognise how loneliness can coexist with a full account of the reasons people struggle to connect. The humour is dry and often bleak. Despite its handmade appearance, this is a mature drama involving mental illness, abuse and suicidal behaviour, rather than a cosy stop-motion diversion.
