I watched Mary and Max so I could actually vote in one. I'm familiar with Elliot via his short film Harvey Krumpet which has a similar, but IMO a greater charm. Mary and Max was alright, sometimes felt to pessimistic and then overly corny but ends of landing just fine. Following is a masterful thriller though, especially on my initial viewing I considered this a masterpiece, it's pretty close to one. (Which is why I nominated it)
