Feedback/Comments
amazing movie - loved it
Good but a bit relentlessly dour at times, and feels a bit dated with the humour at times. I prefer his previous films.
Outstanding
It's a pretty sad tale but well done with the claymation. Was a little slow at times
A sad, terrible tale is delivered with great aplomb and a generous splatter of humour. The characters are scarily identifiable as are their situations. Real life in clay. The very Melbourne setting, amazing detail and expressions backed with excellent voiceovers make this Adam Elliot's best work to date. Wonder if there's a touch of autobiography in there that's raised it to these heights? Highly recommended.
