Mary and Max (2009)

Mary and Max review ★★★★☆ Mary and Max is a 2009 Australian stop motion animated dark comedy-drama film written and directed by Adam Elliot as his first animated feature film with music by Dale Cornelius and produced by Melanie Coombs and Melodrama Pictures, it stars Philip Seymour Hoffman who plays one of the main characters Max Jerry Horovitz who is a morbidly obese 44-year-old ex-Jewish atheist who has trouble forming close bonds with other people,and also Toni Collette who plays Mary Daisy Dinkle a lonely 8 year old who lives in Mount Waverley, Australia, these two cast members are only two amongst an all star cast for example Philip Seymour Hoffman Starred in the Hunger Games, Mission Impossible III and the invention of lying before he sadly passed in 2014, whereas Toni Collette has starred in Tammy alongside Melissa Mccarthy, she has also starred in the sixth sense and Little Miss Sunshine. The technical elements stand out in the film especially the music made by Dale Cornelius and a variety of other artists and composers, in my opinion i would say the music fits into one another every scene the music suits well to, in my opinion the music is hands down greatly compiled and composed through and through. The cinematography of Mary and Max Is Gerald Thompson he is only really known for his work on Mary and Max but i can safely say his efforts do not go unrecognised he captures a lot of good camera angles that capture a lot of things that in my opinion captured audience’s attention to key parts in the film. In my opinion I enjoyed this film nothing was really wrong with this film i can safely say that this film is definitely a family favourite. My expectations: Medium. In all honesty, I didn't think the film was going to be as good as it turned out to be overall i’m pleased with the outcome. Re-watch value: I can watch this film again, without a doubt I would be hoping to get this movie for christmas it is a favourite of mine.
