❝What is it to ache? I don't know. What is it to be alive? I don't know...❞
❝Sometimes there's no lesson. That's a lesson in itself.❞

Anomalisa was a bit of a surprise, but definitely in a good way. It centers around a condition that I've actually spent some time thinking about in the past, and focuses on themes of existential isolation, perception and objectification, and the Inherent imperfections of humanity. The story is pretty simple, and it starts off really well, but to me it didn't explore its core ideas very much, and it dragged quite a bit during the second act (the sex scene admittedly made me quite uncomfortable, too). However, all three of the voice cast members did fantastically, and I loved the fluid stop-motion animation combined with the soft, blurred colour palette. Overall, I think I need to rewatch it to appreciate it better, but I thought Anomalisa was quite a good film, and worth checking out, especially if you like other works in Charlie Kaufman's filmography.
