Storyline

Michael Stone, an author that specializes in customer service, is a man who is unable to interact deeply with other people. His low sensitivity to excitement, and his lack of interest made him a man with a repetitive life on his own perspective. But, when he went on a business trip, he met a stranger - an extraordinary stranger, which slowly became a cure for his negative view on life that possibly will change his mundane life.

Trivia

Co-director Duke Johnson stated it took six months for him to animate the sex scene because of technical reasons and making the scene realistic as opposed to comedic. See more »

Goofs

When Lisa is explaining their drive down from Akron said, "The 71, pretty much went straight to Cincinnati.": it is a preface uncommon to Ohioans, although it is common in nearby western New York, and has bled somewhat into northeast Ohio, it is much more likely that someone from northeast Ohio would have said "I-71" as opposed to "The 71".

Anomalisa is a brave little film...but not 'transcendental' in the slightest
12 March 2016 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

I do sometimes wonder at the 'wit and wisdom' of film critics when they say things like: " (This film is) A rare sliver of transcendence".

I'm given to the odd, smart-ass sounding sound bite myself, the sort of line that a sub- editor could easily pick up for a killer, attention grabbing headline.

But thankfully managed to reign most of that in for this beautifully produced, stop-motion ride to nowhere in particular.

Charlie Kaufman's (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation) brave and much admired dive into the unknown is at least to be respected and welcomed as a departure from the norm.
