Atom User Reviews
Don’t believe the critics, this is a great movie! Bringing the dolls to life was a stroke of genius and creative masterpiece.
Great movie. Unique. Based on true story as it mentions. I wish it was a little less cartoon, but still great movie. You NEVER find out if hr decides to let go of his fantasy world or not. and you NEVER find out exactly what punishment his abusers got from the judge.
Metacritic
The movie works best when it falls back on plain old acting. Merritt Wever is sweet presence as the hobby shop worker and gentle soul who understands Mark’s obsessions, and appreciates his art. Her scenes with Carell are the movie’s least technological, and its best.
Welcome to Marwen is a disastrously misconceived movie, but in such a boring way that it’s hard to imagine its target audience. Most of the time, big-screen disasters are hugely ambitious tales that completely miss the mark. This one hits the mark, but it’s probably not a target anybody should have been aiming at.
The tone is almost willfully off-putting. The parts that are supposed to be cute could give you the creeps. The film is almost a Platonic ideal of how to take an emotionally transfixing real-life story and get it wrong.
