SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

not horrible nor great

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Fortunately I was able to cut through this unusual, but crappy film, by fast forwarding through the dullest of dialogs. Don't waste your time on this so-called animated waste.

While an adult stop-motion drama about a midlife crisis and mental illness may sound mundane as a concept, this is quite possibly Kaufman's sharpest and most absorbing film yet. Charlie Kaufman has already proved himself to be one of the smartest, most creative visionary directors/writers working today. He has yet to make an unoriginal film even as his vibrant style stretches over a career spanning 40 years. Anomalisa is certainly Kaufman's tamest work when compared to the outlandish concepts of Being John Malkovich and Adaptation, but it is also one of his most engaging. A grounded perception of mental illness affecting a lonely, middle-aged man in the centre of a richly-detailed, yet maddening, world. The concept will never sound as appealing as it really is, but upon viewing, the film's subtle messages on love and identity will surely resonate with any viewer, no matter their age. Even with an ending that hints upon a concept that I wish was further explored, Anomalisa expresses it's thought-provoking story through detailed character interactions, a wry script and brilliant voice performances from the extremely limited cast that had me daydreaming of the film's beauty long after watching.

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.

The elements used to portray a pretty complex idea, came together quite artistically in this film, however, somehow, it still falls kind of short of being as poignant as it was perhaps meant to.Creatively, Anomalisa is spot on, and it is easy to see that thought went into putting all the pieces together to bring an idea to life. Sadly though, apart from it being not as moving as it could be, many scenes felt incredibly stretched out, which made the film feel even longer than it already felt.Though I give this film a 6.9/10, I do understand the acclaim it has received. It didn't quite reach out to me the way it was supposed to, but honestly, given the artistic integrity this film holds, I see how it could've hit home for anyone else.The praise and Oscar Nomination are well founded. The idea is fresh and well designed, however, the execution though good, maybe could've been better, or wasn't good enough, but also, was very smart.
