Writer/director Charlie Kaufman (Eternal Sunshine, Malkovich) returns with a wonderful surprise peopled by stop-motion puppets. In the midst of an existential crisis, a celebrated customer service expert (David Thewlis) spends a life-changing night with shy, adoring Lisa (Jennifer Jason Leigh). As its emotional power creeps out from under the subtle humor, this miracle of a film (and Best Animation nominee) is “both soaringly romantic and truly sad,” (Time Out). D: Charlie Kaufman & Duke Johnson, US, 2015, 90m
