4.5/5
"Exquisite attention to detail that creates not only a complex portrait of each of the main characters but also a vivid sense of place."  Eye for Film  Amber Wilkinson

4.5/5
" The animation is superb, characters endearing, humour abundant and topical themes honestly and thoroughly explored."  Cut Print Review  Anders Wotzke

4/5
"one of the more brilliant and emotionally affecting animated films to be released this year."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

B
""Mary and Max" is a highly inventive claymation tragicomedy told from a very personal perspective. It's not intended to be everyone's cup of tea."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

B
"Of all the Australian claymation oddball dramedies to come out in 2009, this is almost certainly the best."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

3.5/4
"Mary and Max has the look of a kids picture but is another chapter in the growing evolution of animation for grown-ups."  eFilmCritic.com  Erik Childress

4/5
"click for the full review"  Movies for the Masses  Joseph Proimakis

7/10
"From opposite ends of the world the two can say anything to each other, and the clay animation lets us see what their minds' eyes are seeing. The story is wise and funny in ways it could not be in live action."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Mark R. Leeper

5/5
"A dark, grown-up story about an extraordinary friendship over 20 years"  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline
