My love for this movie is zoo-sized.
Matt SingerJul 18, 2020So I rewatched Anomalisa, one of the top 5 films of that embarrassing “100 movies in one summer” video I did 2 years ago, and after an hour long discussion with the people I watched it with that ended in me deciding once again that CMBYN is insanely irresponsible, I’m…
KarstenSep 5, 2015"i think you're extraordinary, but i don't know why yet." …it has something to do with a courageous reckoning with a man's egocentrism. "every one you talk to has had a day." loved the small scale, loved the discombobulating animation mode, loved the puppet cunnilingus.…

The tale of a man who mastered how to manipulate people into a false sense of security. This skill backfires on him and he ends up falling out of love with humanity entirely, as a result he suffers endlessly. This film was beautifully done.

LucyDec 15, 2015Ideas about this film I am willing to entertain: 1. We are supposed to think of Michael Stone as an awful human being. 2. Everyone is poorly written on purpose, that's the point. Michael can't see anyone other than as a sketch of a human being that exists in relationship…

I was basically held at gunpoint in the comment section of my stop-motion video to watch this and boy am I glad I did. Sorta at a loss for words and anything I say about it won’t really be able to really sum up how much I enjoyed it. Slapping a rating on it feels dumb.…

JaxiJan 21, 2017"I think you’re extraordinary." "Why?" "I don’t know yet." I don't really actually know what to say about this movie? I can't think of anything clever, I can't think of anything moving. I guess I'm just kind of broken. Thanks Charlie Kaufman, for being the leading cause of…

I really wanted to like this movie. There were concepts the director touched on that I thought were wonderful and I loved the plot overall, I just did not love the final execution of the vision. I was excited to see it but I suppose I was let down by my own expections.
Love how open this movie is to interpretation. This movie highlights loneliness, what it means to appreciate what you have, and the complex relationship of wanting what you want while also being too controlling in that desire.

i was hoping for something more... interesting? more special? idk... don't get me wrong it was a good movie it just didn't meet my expectation and my type at all
animation was so fluid - the subtle movements and long moments made the characters feel real

Charlie Kaufman shows us what it is to be human. Plus the best use of Cyndi Lauper’s ‘Girls Just Want To Have Fun’ in the movies.
Many will guess the resolution of Michael and Lisa’s affair well in advance. That scarcely matters, though, given how beautifully distinctive Anomalisa is from moment to moment.
Whatever combination of practical effects and digital wizardry went into the technique that gave rise to Anomalisa’s otherworldly yet very human narrative universe, I hope it will be used to tell more stories, perhaps by this same storyteller.
