A tale of friendship between two unlikely pen pals: Mary, a lonely, eight-year-old girl living in the suburbs of Melbourne, and Max, a forty-four-year old, severely obese man living in New York. In the mid-1970s, a homely, friendless Australian girl of 8 picks a name out of a Manhattan phone book and writes to him; she includes a chocolate bar. He writes back, with chocolate. Thus begins a 20-year correspondence. Will the two ever meet face to face?

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Clearly a labor of love, but one destined perhaps to be loved by a very select few.
– Justin Chang,

Remarkable and poignant...
– Kevin Thomas,
Los Angeles Times,

fresh:
In a perverse and often immature way, it forthrightly deals with mature issues of love, friendship, forgiveness and mental health. It requires a mature audience, but an audience nonetheless.
– Peter Howell,

rotten:
The mixture of artistic sophistication and emotional crudeness cancel each other out.
– Liam Lacey,
Globe and Mail,

fresh:
While perhaps it doesn't fully sustain its 90-odd-minute running time, Mary and Max is a moving celebration of oddness and friendship.
