"A cute movie that's also a but weird. Such a sad ending."

"Wow. I never thought I would be this moved by a bunch of animated clay figures. This is Adam Elliot's labour of love and he manages to excel in just about every department imaginable. Animation, design, music, language, all are outstanding, but what stands head and shoulders above everything else is the story and the characters that inhabit it. As cute and heartwarming as it is, this film is essentially about isolation, not fitting in, and about the shallowness of judging by covers only. It looks and sounds amazing as well. The character design and the quality of animation are superb. The score is beautiful, using light and almost operatic classical music to great effect. I loved this film dearly. The final scene captures its essence best and is one that had me smiling with tears in my eyes. This is a sensation it manages to evoke at practically every twist in the tale making it the perfect cinematic definition of bitter sweet."

"Another movie I wouldn’t have ever watched if not by random chance. This time it was in a YouTube video I got recommended. By the way this movie is free on YouTube so you can watch it any time. Wonderful movie though. It may seem like just two people writing to each other. But it’s also a amazing story about two different people. The max voice actor did an amazing job which even made me respect voice actors more. Seems like such a harder thing to perform only using your voice. Honestly though the visuals terrified me. Not one to get scared. But something about stop motion creeps me out. Not all but for sure the majority of them. A bonus its only 90 minutes."

"I promise myself that one day I will be able to watch this movie without crying"

"More people need to see this Film. It’s very realistic and portrays ASD/Aspergers beautifully!! Please watch it!"

"The animation in this is amazing! I love how the details in this film immediately made me go,” this is not a kids animation” lol. The plot though. It just wasn’t strong enough and I think you have to be in a certain mood to watch this film and I was not. "

"Wasn't expecting to shed a tear at this, but damn it got me 😭 New favorite claymation film, 4.75☆ I won't get into my thoughts on Aspergers as a diagnosis here, but this film gets a pass from me 1. because of the time period & the conversations around Autism when this movie takes place (the distinction between the diagnoses still being made in a clinical setting) + 2. Max's Neurodivergence & attitude towards said neurodivergence was handled BEAUTIFULLY imo This was a lovely & very odd story. I connected with it & the characters strongly as someone with ASD"

"What a great story with unforgettable visuals. Definitely calls for some tissues though. "

"This one is amazing, really good movie👍"

"absolute tearjerker istg i cant get through the first ten mins without sobbing"
