So sad, tragic and violent and, in a weird way, so full of hapiness. "Life can only be understood backwards, but we have to live it forwards."

You know that writing is strong when it can be delivered almost entirely through narration and not feel like an expository chore. It helps that the story is so weirdly creative that you never know what to expect. There's some hilarious ideas and visuals, along with some incredibly poignant ones. I will say that I was expecting something more out of the final note from Pinky. It wasn't bad, but given how unique the rest of the movie felt, this final takeaway felt familiar in comparison. Still, a worthwhile watch that makes me excited to check out Adam Elliot's previous feature, _Mary and Max_, which somehow slipped under my radar.

In some ways, The Memoir of a Snail reminded me of UP. The story follows Grace’s life, touching on childhood struggles, societal pressures, and family conflicts while sharing a message of resilience and personal growth. The snail symbolizes moving forward and finding beauty in imperfections, reflected in a line about celebrating cracks in repaired pottery. The stop-motion animation adds emotional depth, and references to works like Sylvia Plath and Lord of the Flies enrich the story. At its heart, the film is about human connections and the small moments that shape us, balancing heavy themes with warmth and humor.

Quirky, strange, eccentric, and at times a bit crude, the movie's unique claymation style and washed-out colors instantly remind you of Adam Elliot's earlier work, Mary & Max. Narrated by Grace, the movie follows her and her twin brother's life into adulthood as they face different sets of misfo More

An engaging life story, sad and depressing for the most part, but full of funny little details everywhere. It never gets boring. This is stop motion animation with a pleasing detailed and semi-realistic visual style and colourful characters.

Highlights include Pinky's biography and Gilbert's fami More

“Memoir of a Snail” is that rare kind of animation that goes beyond the boundaries of genre and format, delivering a visually stunning and emotionally overwhelming experience. Director Adam Elliot, known for his ability to tell deeply human stories through stop-motion, returns with a film that b More

It feels great to laugh straight after you’ve just welled up.

The characters in Memoir of a Snail, the new animated tale from Academy Award winner Adam Elliot, feel authentically real to us - and even though Elliot includes jokes, he doesn’t joke ABOUT them.

He lays them bare to us with More
