This stop motion animated film from Australia is about the unlikely friendship between two pen pals, Mary and Max. Mary is a lonely girl from Australia. Max is an elderly man, living with an imaginary friend in his apartment in New York.
This is one of the most charming, heavily emotional, and heartbreaking (animated) films I've ever seen. It showcases a different kind of (random) friendship that spans from Mary's adolescence through her adulthood. It effectively captures the psyche of two lonely persons who are separated by great distance.
