When an old boulder like me is moved by something, it means something. "Mary & Max" is so delicately heartfelt that you almost don't realize how emotionally overwhelmed you become - until you find yourself sitting there at the end with a tear inevitably streaming down your cheek.
In recent years, I can guarantee that I have rarely seen a film with such a brilliantly written story. It is rich in detail, unique, without being overly sentimental or fluffy in its naivety, but rather embedded in a world that is not very funny.
Intelligent, lovable, touching, thought-provoking, with moments that make you smile, and above all, fantastically well thought out. Without a doubt, this is truly great cinema.
