Leave your thoughts about Anomalisa.
| The SpectatorDeborah RossIt's experiencing this film that matters, and experiencing how remarkably affecting it is, and experiencing the thrum that won't leave you be. |
| The Robot's VoiceLuke Y. ThompsonKaufman's allegorical universes are very pointed and focused - every metaphor is clear, every departure from reality connected to a specific neurosis. |
| Contactmusic.comRich ClineAs he did in films like Being John Malkovich and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Charlie Kaufman continues to explore the nature of human identity in this bracingly original stop-motion animated feature. |
| New StatesmanRyan GilbeyNo one would start a punch-up if they said that the screenwriter Charlie Kaufman is the most original voice to emerge in US cinema since David Lynch. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanThere's so much in this film that you probably need to see it more than once to digest it all. And believe me, you'll want to. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsIt's Chekhovian screwball, a perfect little tale of love (or thereabouts) in bloom among the weeds of an ordinary life. It feels like a classic already. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleAnomalisa may simply be a brilliant one-off, but it’s pointing a new direction for animation, if anyone cares to follow it. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversFiltered through Kaufman's searching mind and soulful brilliance, the result is a masterpiece. |

| Boston GlobePeter KeoughIt takes a few minutes to catch on, and it would be indiscrete to specify what it is, but once you figure out what’s really strange about it you have entered the solipsistic prison of a tormented mind. |
