Welcome to Marwen
It is the story of ambitious artist Mark Hogankamp who was the victim of a violent attack on a group of criminals. That story began when five men beat him and left him behind. Perhaps it was very difficult after the attack, as Mark did not remember anything because of brain damage by his assailants. Shortly after that operation, Hogankamp builds something imaginary of World War II called Marvin in his yard to help heal him and to recover those memories or remember anything.

One wonders if Zemeckis knows what kind of story he is telling. [Full review in Spanish]

Since Welcome to Marwen plays like a car accident, you simply have to watch no matter what horrifying image is lurking just around the bend.

Welcome to Marwen doesn't fix Mark, but instead chooses to focus on one massive battle in his life.

Zemekis is especially skilled at the alchemy between digital entertainment and creating a portrait of a man struggling with his demons. [Full Review in Spanish]

I left Welcome to Marwen feeling that Hogancamp had been cut off from agency from his own story, reduced to a cow-eyed dunderhead Candide only more voyeuristic.

Zemeckis attempts to move audiences, but does so with a forced tone and an exaggerated melodrama. [Full Review in Spanish]

But in a complex story of redemption and resilience with the blurring of real life and fantasy, it's one item on a list that contains a lot of other unchecked boxes.

A well-meaning, heartfelt, and vigorously engaged tribute to a remarkable person...

Despite its flaws, Zemeckis is able to craft a film to leave audiences in a great state. [Full Review in Spanish]

Welcome to Marwen is the ultimate Robert Zemeckis movie. This is not intended as a compliment.

[It] is such an eccentric film that it wins a few points for sheer ambition, including its inventive visual scheme. The central story, however... never feels as transcendent or stirring as director/co-writer Robert Zemeckis clearly intends it to be

The female characters in Welcome to Marwen are all a little too yielding, a little too understanding... They expect so little of Hogancamp that it's all too easy for him to impress them, and all too easy for us to feel good about ourselves in the process.
