Welcome to Marwen
There is a serious attack on the ambitious artist Marc Hogankamp on 8 April 2000. The story began when ambitious artist Mark Hogankamp became a victim of violent assault on a night of dark nights. It was an attack by five men who beat him and left him bleeding. After the attack, Mark left very few memories because of brain damage by his assailants, but he tries to recover everything that happened.

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

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

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.

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

One wonders if Zemeckis knows what kind of story he is telling. [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.

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]

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.

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.

[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

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

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