If Mary and Max hit the spot, these will too

Both keep coming back to the same thing: loneliness
The difference: Trades the melancholy of Mary and Max for an angle of its own

One thread runs through both: suicide attempt
The difference: 21 years apart, and the 1980s show

Common ground: suicide attempt
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Both are built on the same subject: loneliness
The difference: Sits closer to romance than Mary and Max does

Witty where it counts, playful underneath

Contemplative and warm in the same breath

Melancholy comedy, and it commits to that

Both lean on loneliness more than on animation

Drama built on wit, twice over

Comedy with a pulse of play, in both cases


Animation built on loneliness, twice over
