    This movie is brilliant because it stays with you long after you have watched it. Movies don't all have to be feel good or make you relieved, there are more emotions out there that most movies won't explore, this movie has most of them.

    Thanks for such a great review, Tom! I first saw this movie many years ago & was absolutely floored at the honesty & also the innocence (Max is also very innocent, about many topics). I can't help but watch it about once per year, just to remind myself of a few important life issues. You're absolutely correct about the song "Que Sera Sera" never sounding the same again, once you've heard it in this movie (attached to that VERY moving scene)!

    This film made me sob more than once though I don’t normally,as I don’t really cry at films all that often. The reason why it caused such a strong reaction in me is probably because it was so close to my own experiences of loneliness and self-loathing mostly a product of my Asperger's Syndrome and the social anxiety that comes with it.It was also wonderful to see a more realistic portrayal of Asperger’s as most are either showing all of us as savants/geniuses (though in reality they are quite rare) or are just misinformed and insensitive. I hope I’m not rambling to much, I just think that this film is an underrated gem and it hit me on such a personal level. Love your vids 😊

    I really loved the film but it didn’t make me cry. It was truly amazing and breathtaking but I didn’t properly cry at the film.
    The last film that i cried was Dear Zachary: A letter to a son about his father. It might’ve been because it was real life footage.
    I know this is a based on a story and it’s probably one of the best stop motion film that i have seen

    I've yet to watch Mary & Max in its entirety, mainly because I fear the emotional gut punch. I have too many films that make me cry, but the one that stands out the most in my mind is The Land Before Time. I cry in the first 10 minutes at the moment Littlefoot recognizes his mother and the music swells as she nuzzles him. It's something about the purity and warmth of their instant bond and mother and child that pulls it out of me. Many scenes of that film make me cry for different reasons, but that is the first scene to get that reaction out of me because it's just so beautiful. The animation, the music, the soothing voice of Littlefoot's mother creates a torrent of emotion in me that I can never hold back.

      Pretty much. Throughout the entire movie, for me personally, I honestly couldn't believe my eyes. Every. Single. Fucking. Character. Was either dead, dying, went through a horrible tragedy, or just left. There was no "ending" for me. It was as if the script writer was like "here it is, I don't know what to do now but take it or leave it".

    I watched this as I was recommended as it was about Asperger's. It this point i normally cringe and think what crap have film makers come up with now about autistics? So i felt a moral obligation to watch it if only to destroy it's narrative. Not this time, Max's character in particular is a profoundly good, probably one of the best depictions of a autistic I've seen. Some of his dialogue includes things that only autistics will really understand. "I don't show emotion but i am in my head" "I'm fine i don't need curing" i can understand it being upsetting for some. It doesn't sidestep anything. A real classic although I couldn't help thinking Barry Humphreys was trying desperately to sound like Stephen Fry

      It's not that sad, everyone in the comments is acting like it's the most sad movie ever created. It's just a depressing movie more than one that's gonna make you cry

      +cupfcoffee it is so sad, yet strangely uplifting... I guess that would be a
      Bittersweet ending. Max was happy in the end, we was finally able to cry and I think he found peace with
      His only true friend. And Mary was finally at peace knowing she was there for Max.
