Review: Mary and Max
For one week during the month of April, the staff and contributors here at We Live Film will be celebrating autism awareness. To start off this series, Zachary Marsh will be reviewing 2009 animated stop-motion film, Mary and Max.
In Mary and Max, a lonely girl from Australia named Mary begins a correspondence with Max Jerry Horowitz in New York City. Mary is teased at school for her abnormal birthmark. Max, however, suffers from anxiety and is diagnosed with Asperger syndrome. This critically acclaimed film touches on the subjects of autism, depression and loneliness. That said, Mary and Max is rated PG-13 for its mature themes.
The film features the voice talents of Philip Seymour Hoffman, Toni Colette, Barry Humphries and Eric Bana and is directed by Adam Elliot.
