- David Bax @ Battleship Pretension
- Excerpt: Zemeckis is intent on pleasing the most people possible instead of letting Welcome to Marwen fly the freak flag it so desperately wants to.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: [Zemeckis’] latest, an adaptation of Jeff Malmberg’s sublime 2010 documentary “Marwencol,” seems to exist mainly to show off a new mode of special effect, one which accentuates socket jointed dolls with real eyes and mouths, like a high tech, motion smoothed, live action ‘Clutch Cargo.’

- Courtney Howard @ FreshFiction.tv
- Excerpt: Welcome To Marwen turns everything progressive into something problematic, not doing right by any of its heroes, especially its diverse female characters.
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: The plastic terror of The Polar Express melded with the kooky charm of Forrest Gump is a bad, sometimes outright icky, way to tell a tale of trauma and recovery, and does a disservice to Steve Carell’s sensitive performance.
- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: Welcome to Marwen isn’t entirely successful at what it wants to do, but it’s an insanely ambitious picture that takes bold storytelling risks.
- Darren Mooney @ the m0vie blog
- Excerpt: Welcome to Marwen, nestled deep in the uncanny valley and very far from the realm of good taste.
- Aaron Neuwirth @ We Live Entertainment
- Excerpt: For a movie dealing with the struggles of a man suffering from brain damage, this story could have used some clearer focus.
