Adam Elliot spent five years making it, fifty-seven weeks of that shooting clay frame by frame: an eight-year-old in Melbourne writes to a middle-aged New Yorker, and they correspond for twenty years.
“There is a sense that their friendship could never have happened in person, but at the same time that its distance condemns them to a limbo of "nearly" friendship, and one doomed to the inevitable misunderstanding and unnecessary offense that friendship via letteris liable to end with. But yet somehow this friendship endures, through thick and thin, and enriches the lives of both characters, as well as all of those who are lucky enough to watch it”
