    I finally got to see Memoir of a Snail. I really loved Adam Elliot’s previous film Mary and Max and I thought this was even better. This film really takes your heart on a roller coaster as it follows the lives of two twins and their ups and downs. I adored this film.

    We did it, but just barely. Watched every single thing nominated for an Oscar. If everyone would watch the documentaries and international films, I’m confident the world would be a better place. But if you could only watch 1 movie, I’d suggest watching Memoir of a Snail. That one blew me away.

    Well, I saw Memoir of a Snail today. Probably gonna be the last film I get to see in that arthouse cinema before it closes its doors permanently forever. Highly recommend the film. It’s funny, it’s very Australian, and it will break your heart in ways you don’t think is possible. Underrated gem.

    Animation doesn't have to be as jolly as Wallace and Gromit. Adam Elliot has a 2K25 Oscar nomination for his Memoir of a Snail, and it's a very moving film if you can handle the sad subject matter, twins who are separated and set to live with different families. film-authority.com/2025/02/13/m...

    Another year-end catch-up I recommend: Adam Elliot’s MEMOIR OF A SNAIL. Sadly, I didn’t get to write on this film (lost count of the pitches I sent), but I adore it—a dark, grown-up & humor-filled animation about family, friendship, & acceptance. Everyone, but awards voters especially, take note.
