Made in Australia - Mary and Max

Wait Until Dark by Robert B.
Quite a different movie for Audrey. If Alan Arkin doesn't make you jump then perhaps you have no pulse. This movie shows the brilliance of a good story, directing and acting needs no special effects or CGI.
8 1/2 by Davide D.
This is the best movie I have ever seen. It is not a normal movie, you have to enter a certain mechanism in order to follow it, and if this happens you will see under your eyes the masterpiece of a real genius at work. If you don't enter this mechanism you will see only a series of senseless scenes. Anyway, it is among the best ten movies ever made.
