5.0 out of 5 starsA melancholy and amazing work of art
By Paul Donovan TOP 500 REVIEWER on January 23, 2016
Format: Amazon Video
1. Charlie Kaufman, responsible for writing blindingly original and strange movies like Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Adaptation, has reappeared after a 7-year absence by writing and co-directing this odd and beautiful allegory.

2. The fewer details you know about the story beforehand, the better. It's designed to slowly reveal what's going on, and you'll get the most out of it that way.

3. The basic plot is about a self-help author who is so deeply unhappy with his life that his brain is re-interpreting reality for him. Then he meets an unhappy woman, and the results are... interesting.

4. This is an animated movie, but it's made for adults. There's swearing, nudity, sex, and alcohol.

5. The foundation of the movie is very melancholy, but it's also extremely funny in parts.

6. It's made with stop-motion animation, but it moves much more smoothly than most of those type of films. The puppets were created using 3D printers. The results are fascinating and a little unsettling.

7. Even though it's surreal and trippy, it manages to hit on an essential Truth about life that may not have been able to be explained in any other way.

8. If you need movies with definite events and concrete explanations, then you will want to avoid this movie.

9. This movie is one of those rare specimens that you understand deep inside yourself, but you may have trouble finding the words to explain it. It's a remarkable piece of art.

4.0 out of 5 starsYou don't notice the unremarkable in daily life until you watch it
By Frosty Cold One TOP 1000 REVIEWER on January 5, 2016
Format: Amazon Video
A few points / warnings about Anomalisa to put it into perspective:

🎭 The stop-motion animation took 3 years to do, and is what sets Anomalisa apart from other movies in recent [past decade] memory. The disquieting realism makes you question how Anomalisa was made; at first I thought it was based on the motions of actors, like A Scanner Darkly, which used live action footage later animated over.

🎭 Most of it takes place at the Hotel Fregoli. The Fregoli delusion is a rare disorder in which a person holds a delusional belief that different people are in fact a single person who changes appearance or is in disguise (Wikipedia). The plot will make more sense knowing this.

🎭 Written and co-directed by Charlie Kaufman, the mind that brought you Being John Malkovich.

🎭 I don't care what people say, there's something creepy about the puppet sex scene here; although not intended to be similar, it's nonetheless a far cry from the humorous puppet sex scene in Team America: World Police. It will surely lead to some negative reviews simply due to its realism. After the scene, Anomalisa becomes surreal once again.

🎭 The heartfelt, cringeworthy speech given by the protagonist towards the end displays every bit as much emotion as you could expect an actor to muster -- but it's a puppet!

🎭 You don't notice the unremarkable in daily life until you watch it: when every character has the same voice, the banality and predictability that hides in plain sight becomes unveiled.

4.0 out of 5 starsCharlie Kaufman Being Charlie Kaufman: another strange trip that's worth taking
By Paul Allaer TOP 100 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on January 24, 2016
Format: DVD
"Anomalisa" (2015 release; 90 min.) brings the story of Michael Stone (voiced by David Thewlis). As the movie opens, we see Michael arriving from LA at the Cincinnati airport, as he's scheduled to give a presentation on customer service the next day. Michael checks in in his hotel in downtown Cincinnati, and after a disastrous rendez-vous at the hotel bar with his ex, Michael eventually makes the acquaintance of Lisa (voiced by Jennifer Jason Leigh) and Emily, two women who drove down from Akron for his talk. To tell you more would spoil your viewing experience, you'll just have to see for yourself how it all plays out.

Couple of comments: first and foremost, this is the latest brainchild of Charlie Kaufman (Being John Malkovich; Adaptation; Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, etc.), and to state that he is pretty unique in the movie business would be an understatement. I'll go see anything that this guy comes up with, yes, he is that unique (and that good). Here, he takes yet another direction, spinning a story of a loner, and presenting it in stop-motion fashion. On top of that, other than the two main characters having their own unique voice, all the other characters, both make and female, are voiced by the same person (Tom Noonan). Even though the two settings couldn't be more different (Tokyo vs. Cincinnati), the movie made me think more than once about Sofia Coppola's "Lost In Translation" (including the themes of loneliness and self-doubt). Beware, even though this is stop-motion, there are several scenes with explicit nudity, so if that bothers you... Last but not least, there is a very nice orchestral score for this movie, courtesy of Carter Burwell.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsIncredible
By wiredweird HALL OF FAMETOP 1000 REVIEWER on January 19, 2016
Format: Amazon Video
This is some of the best stop animation ever. The puppets are beautifully put together, and their gestures and motion are wonderfully natural. There's one self-conscious moment - yes these really are puppets - but that's more acknowledgement than self-parody. Five stars, maybe six, for the everything that makes this animation work.

Then there's the plot - somewhat dark, even a bit disturbing. The lead character, a motivational speaker, enters the crisis point of a mid-life crisis, without realizing that's what's happening. In his own fragile state, he seduces a woman even more emotionally fragile than he is. She exits the brief affair reasonably happy, despite his thoroughly questionable behavior towards her.

And yes, there's the sex scene. Different viewers will respond differently to it - despite its realism in many ways, I found that the dolls dampened any eroticism I might have seen, like two manikins posed intimately together. In any case, this is definitely not one for the kiddies.

And, even though the animation bordered on magical, the emotional burden is not one I really enjoyed seeing.
