This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

One of the worst movies I've ever seen

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Anomalisa is a dreary and pretentious art piece about a wealthy, neurotic, middle aged limey (who is a married) who preys upon and manipulates a woman much younger than him. The filmmakers expect us to feel sympathy for this delusional weirdo (in which he thinks all people except this young woman) are the same person. At the conclusion of the film I ended up hating the main character, felt really unnerved by the creepy animation and that uncomfortable sex scene, and felt completely empty because the film just left me with a very bad taste in my mouth. The film was marketed as moving and touching but incidentally was a needlessly stupid pity party about one crazy old guy's first world problems and unhealthy libido. Skip it.

This is a well-made and entertaining movie. Animation - This is probably the best thing about this movie. It could easily have been live-action but the decision was made to have it animated. it is done incredibly well and is worth watching just to witness the claymation marvel. Everything looks so realistic. Audio - There are only 3 voice actors which was probably to serve some kind of point I didn't get but either way it was annoying. Other than that, the sound design was pretty good except for a few bits where the mouth movements aren't quite right. Plot - The plot has a lot of potential. Though this is more of a slice-of-life story, it was almost interesting. There is a dream sequence that had so much going for it until it was revealed to be a dream sequence. The part of the movie that everything else seemed to be building up to didn't happen, and everything after that is so random and stupid. This movie could've been amazing if it wasn't for the route it could've taken. Though this movie is incredibly made and has potential, I probably wouldn't recommend it. It moves really slow and has a lot of awkward scenes.

The elements used to portray a pretty complex idea, came together quite artistically in this film, however, somehow, it still falls kind of short of being as poignant as it was perhaps meant to.Creatively, Anomalisa is spot on, and it is easy to see that thought went into putting all the pieces together to bring an idea to life. Sadly though, apart from it being not as moving as it could be, many scenes felt incredibly stretched out, which made the film feel even longer than it already felt.Though I give this film a 6.9/10, I do understand the acclaim it has received. It didn't quite reach out to me the way it was supposed to, but honestly, given the artistic integrity this film holds, I see how it could've hit home for anyone else.The praise and Oscar Nomination are well founded. The idea is fresh and well designed, however, the execution though good, maybe could've been better, or wasn't good enough, but also, was very smart.

I knew nothing about Anomalisa ahead of time. The first thing I had to figure out once the film started was why are all the animated characters except two were using the same voice. Once I got beyond that, I just watched in a kind of odd, mesmerized state.Nothing much happens for about the first 20 minutes. It is Michael Stone; a writer and motivational speaker, checking into a hotel in Cincinnati where he is to lecture at a conference the next day. He is a man who no longer has feelings for his wife, and has other serious personal problems. That evening he meets a couple of women who are there for the conference, know who he is and are subsequently infatuated by him. The three have drinks together at the hotel bar which leads to an overnight stay in his room by one of the women.For a short few hours Michael Stone truly believes he is in love with the woman, Lisa. He thinks his loneliness is over. But as he and the lady eat breakfast the next morning, he discovers that he is annoyed by some of her habits and just as quickly as he fell in love, he falls out of love. He will return home to the wife he no longer loves, and his son, his life unchanged.I think the unusual, stop-motion animation make it an interesting movie. I do not think the plot alone would make it a good movie and it is a good movie.
