Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Ensofter Overrated and overhyped
Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
magnuslhad Michael is a customer service guru on jaunt in a nondescript hotel. He is jaded and misanthropic, everyone around him seems to get on his nerves. And these is a sameness about them... The ennui is wonderfully conveyed, and the process of using puppets in stop-motion adds to the sense of non-belonging and dislocation. Michael's dark soul is complemented by Lisa and her zest for life. The burgeoning relationship is both awkward and sweet, but, we sense, ultimately doomed. The sense of a man in middle-age crisis, of people living compartmentalised lives, is fully conveyed. There is some nice humour and pathos. But ultimately nothing much changes for Michael or Lisa, and any greater insight to life's many questions is not forthcoming. Take away the puppets and the process, and you are left with a film that says not very much at all.
robertercero I am not a en expert, but I honestly found this clip a total waste of my time. Senseless things, not recommended. If you are the kind of people that expects a movie to give you something, laugh, sex, fun, anything, you just won't get it from this one. Not at all. It really took time from my life and gave nothing back, this one has nothing for real.
mlitvinava In my reviews, I usually critique and obsess over story-line, cinematography, production design, and acting. And although I have good things to say about the voice acting and the beautiful (and to be honest, quite haunting) stop-motion, this review will be my anomaly. Because the characters in this movie deserve their own standing ovation. I watched Anomalisa not knowing what to expect, having never seen anything written by Charlie Kaufman before (I apologize to the hardcore Kaufman fans, but I promise after Anomalisa, it'll be hard to keep me away).And so I sat there while the movie folded out in front of me--It was so simple. Yet the entire time, I was taken aback at how REAL the characters were. Every little thing they said, every little thing they did, and every little thing they went through, I found it so easy to sympathize and relate to these characters who, just minutes before the movie started, had meant absolutely nothing to me. And for me, that was magical.I usually fall in love with the story of a movie. But here, the characters WERE the story. And they really weren't that special at all. But that's what made them the most beautiful.
Morten_5 Pure cinematic magic. Finely tuned. Lovely stop motion animations. Written and co- directed by Charlie Kaufman, it's an extraordinary vision. Based on a play by Kaufman - starring David Thewlis, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Tom Noon, who also voice the movie - "Anomalisa" (2015) is a bittersweet and humorous depiction of the loneliness and mundanity of life. In some ways, it feels more real than life itself.
