Impressive big words there, but is Mary and Max really deserving of only two stars if you've seen only 1/5 of it? Statistically, I guess you would have given it a full ten stars if you'd seen all of it.
I guess it could be compared to Tim Burton's films--the monochromatic color scheme, the dark situations of misfit characters, the beauty and hope he finds in out-of-the-way places . . . I'm curious as to why you call the authors "greedy and schizoid"--they certainly made no money at the box office, and if by "schizoid," you mean emotionally unpredictable, that may have been intentional, as they were depicting a character with Asperger's, a condition that's characterized by emotional ups and downs.
You're entitled to your opinion, and I'm not invalidating that, but your review doesn't fully explain your rating, and is ultimately unfair based on only a partial viewing of the film.
