Mary and Max
Andrew introduced me to claymation with Wallace and Gromit and I love it so I jumped at the opportunity to see the new Australian claymation film by Adam Elliot (who also did Harvey Krumpet). I was extra interested because I knew it portrayed what it is like to have Autism which is relevant to my work and also because a friend of mine has experienced the condition in her family. And one of the two main characters lives in Mount Waverley!
It’s actually quite a heart-wrenching film and I had tears rolling down my cheeks at the end but at the same time there are some very funny moments and the way it is done is so clever.
I saw it through Autism Victoria who are playing it around Melbourne for awareness raising so that was also really positive.
