Mary and Max

2009, Unrated, 92min

When I was young, I invented an invisible friend called Mr Ravioli. My psychiatrist says I don’t need him anymore, so he just sits in the corner and reads.

From Oscar-winning animator Adam Elliot comes this touching story of unlikely friendship. Mary is a lonely 8-year-old living in Melbourne. Max is an obese 44-year-old in New York. Over 22 years these pen-pals support each other anc share their lives.
