Welcome to Marwen

Maybe Zemeckis got hit on the head really hard, because he just won't stop making these ghoulish CGI atrocities. His upcoming Pinocchio is going to be HELL. Michael Scott yelling no.

At times funny, clever and even touching, but the film's tempo and blatantly obvious metaphors makes it an overall dull experience.

It might not be great. Perhaps not. I don't know. It's disjointed for sure and I'm not sure if it wants to be a fantasy or a drama... or both. It hasn't decided. But it provides an accurate and emotional depiction of PTSD. Steve Carrell gives a powerhouse performance. It's fascinating to watch unfold and all the loose ends tie themselves up in the ways they should. It may not be great, but it's absolutely effective and a satisfying joy to watch.

rvw. i loved the animation. the metaphors from his life into the dolls, the babe team, high heels, ptsd and court fear, witch/drugs, the often sad state of his life. the romance wasnt earned or done well i real life OR in the dolls. but it was better in the dolls. the store girl shoulda been the one to inspire and save him lol

It's all about the heels. In the original story, heels are about a triumph of art over adversity. Of self-discovery over self-defeat. Here, it's like, great bro. Cool Instagram. Zemeckis throws a lot of technology at his main character, but I don't think he understands him at all.

okay movie

Highly underrated.

a very good movie about PTSD and how the victims suffer from it and how art can help them survive and get back to normal life.

The flick was more a comedy than a bio pict. I liked the doll deaths and the Louboutin joke but the story did not get further from gimmicks. All characters were kind of plastic. And I did not get the ERB's Dejah Thoris link.

I cringed watching it, but it's also a lovely great idea. I dont know.

A weird, kinky, beautifully imagined film that manages to articulate PTSD drama, low-fantasy and self-discovery in a journey that only a wizard like Zemeckis could pull off -- even if this feels sometimes too sentimental and self-indulgent.

I mean... Yeah.. OK. Most OK film i've seen in a while. Although a true story, not a great script, not well balanced.. Only part I'm positive about is Carell's performance.

Robert Zemeckis'den Toy Story. Yalnız yaşayan ve oyuncaklarıyla sanat eseri çıkaran 1 adam, karşı komşuya aşık olur. Görüntü yönetmenliği iyi olsa da, animasyon çekimleri kötü olmuş. Konu ilginç olsa da, sonlara doğru çıkmaza gelip bocalıyor. Oyuncu seçiminde de 1 hata zinciri de yok değil. Öyle sahneler var ki güler misin ağlar mısın? Filmin sonunda, kahramanlarımız adaleti ve aşkı buluyor. Yüksek topuklar ile şu filmin kafasını delelim.

The "real life dolls" parts of this are incredible. I wanted more of the fake plastic world and less of the actual story. I know that sounds a bit mean, but I already watched the documentary about this man's story, just called " Marwencol (2010)" which does the real life story more justice. I could watch an entire film of bodacious plastic dames killing Nazis during WWII

Muchos kitsches und clichéjos, but hella good.

An interesting misfire.

In his fourth venture into mo-cap, Zemeckis does succeed in finally making something that looks pretty remarkable. Is it creepy? Absolutely. It is the subject (dolls) that allows for this medium to work. On the other hand, you have this narrative which is straight up bad. The tone is silly, misogynistic, too simple, and too much about high heels. To tackle such important topics such as PTSD and violence against LGBTQ groups with such nonchalance and horniness is cringeworthy.
