Delightfully outrageous, tongue-in-cheek claymation. Done with skill and a subversive sense of humor that never stopped tickling me.
Like Nick Park, Adam Eliott has managed to create characters out of plasticine that are real enough, in an offbeat way, to make us care for their stories. Max is an overweight, Jewish Aspie...Mary a socially rejected teenage Aussie...but they manage to find in each other enough human contact to help them survive.
For all its silliness, this is a profoundly humanist film. Nice work.
