Head over to the School of Movies podcast feed to hear Amy and Hunter join Alex and Sharon Shaw discuss and reflect on Adam Elliot’s masterpiece Mary and Max.

It is a film about a decades long friendship between an Australian girl Mary living in Melbourne, and adult Max who has Asperger’s and lives in New York. We discuss depression, Asperger’s, loneliness, and how these are portrayed in this unique stop motion movie. It’s not always an easy watch but it is an accurate depiction of these conditions and listeners interested in Asperger’s and Autism will find it rewarding.

A film about the challenges of two people understanding a chaotic and confusing world seems very 2020.
