Anticipating Charlie Kaufman's Anomalisa

Phooey. I'm with Morbs on this.

Lisa's character doesn't ring as totally true to me. Kaufman presents her as overly insecure, with the exception of her amazing singing. Even broken people can navigate their own strengths, she just seems a little one-dimensional. Which is sad, because she's also the best thing about this film IMO.

so depressing to see such interesting and effective technique expended on something as dull and over-done and mundane as the White Male Midlife Crisis yet fucking again. I think I really despise Charlie Kaufman. depressing that critics lap this shit up too. Michael's ex who stormed out and told him to fuck off after 5 minutes otm.

Michael is a dickhead whose problems are excruciatingly boring and Lisa is just a projection of someone to save from herself, the character rang so false, all that caricatured insecurity

oh i guess i've just known ppl like lisa in my life. i agree she's thinly drawn bc this movie is v focused on michael and boy does michael suck

the insecurities didn't ring false, laying them on so thick did. the character existed purely to be nobly "saved"

ok yeah agreed there

Yeah, I agree with you Lex.
