Rotten Tomatoes: 100% From 40 Reviews You know what to expect from Charlie Kaufman: he'll hold up a mirror to your own brain and make you pick it apart brilliantly with incredibly good scripts and mind-bending ideas that don't need astronomical budgets to play out. Anomolisa is his animated introspective opus, kickstarted into life (literally, thanks to $400k in pledges), proving that there is still space in Hollywood for the occasionally lunatic, always irrepressibly beautiful experiments of geniuses. It is hauntingly sad and funny, endearing dull and profound, and deals with key neuroses that you probably didn't know you were definitely suffering: the idea that everyone and everything is out to annoy you. The film continues Kaufman's pornography of awkwardness where no hero fits and everyone is broken on a spectrum and in Duke Johnson's stop animation medium, Kaufman has found the perfect opportunity to control every brush-stroke of his canvas, to brilliant effect. Sample Review:
"It's what you imagine might have happened if Charlie Kaufman had got his hands on Up in the Air or Lost in Translation." - Dave Calhoun, Time Out
