classified 18 (CTBA)"Adam Elliot Spins a Series of Unfortunate Events Into a Stop-Motion Heart-Tugger." Variety
From Academy Award®-winning animation writer and director Adam Elliot, Memoir of a Snail is a poignant, heartfelt, hilarious chronicle of the life of an outsider finding confidence and silver linings amongst the clutter of everyday life.
Grace Pudel is a lonely misfit with an affinity for collecting ornamental snails and an intense love for books. At a young age, when Grace is separated from her fire-breathing twin brother Gilbert, she falls into a spiral of anxiety and angst. Despite a continued series of hardships, a morsel of hope emerges when she strikes up an enduring friendship with an elderly eccentric woman named Pinky.
Memoir of a Snail is 100%-CG-free stop-motion with an incredible voice cast including Nick Cave and Eric Bana, and precicely the heart-warmer we need during these colder seasons.
Followed by a Q&A with director Adam Elliot.
