Greetings from Lithuania.
"Anomalisa" (2015) is a very intimate, sometimes confusing but always interesting to watch character study movie - and it's surely not for everyone. Directed and written by the brilliant Charlie Kaufman ("Being John Malkovich"; "Adaptation." "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind") it is almost on the same league as the three great movies i'm just mentioned. When i was watching "Anomalisa" not for a second i thought i was watching an animated movie - it was so real and plausible that it would work out as an motion picture. This is not an animated movies for children, don't even bother with that. This is a great examination of life itself trough the eyes of a man, who at that moment of his life doesn't even see a difference in people anymore, they all looks and sound the same trough his eyes (and our as well), until... Anomalisa happens.
Overall, "Anomalisa" isn't for everyone, but i loved this movie simply to ... watch after my hard day of work. It shows so many things right, so many things we've seen in our lives. It isn't a mainstream entertainment, it is a great character (which we all see in our self's at least partly) study movie.
