Nominated for Best Animated Feature 
Orphaned and separated across the continent, Australian twins Grace (Sarah Snook) and Gilbert (Kodi Smit-McPhee) dream of one day being reunited. Grace retreats further into herself, becoming a hoarder and snail collector, while Gilbert rails against his cult-like foster family.
This is not a movie for children unless you feel like explaining a bunch of stuff. This is in the vein of Mary & Max, also written and directed by Adam Elliot, and should not be confused with family friendly movies by LAIKA. It ends up heartwarming but it takes its time getting to that point. Still, we love stop-motion and it's always nice to see it represented.
It's currently only available to rent or buy and if you like quirky, off-kilter characters, it's worth tossing some cash at for a one-time watch.
