"Marwencol" is a documentary about the fantasy world of Mark Hogancamp. After being beaten into a brain-damaging coma by five men outside a bar, Mark builds a 1/6th scale World War II-era town in his backyard. Mark populates the town he dubs "Marwencol" with dolls representing his friends and family and creates life-like photographs detailing the town's many relationships and dramas. Playing in the town and photographing the action helps Mark to recover his hand-eye coordination and deal with the psychic wounds of the attack. When Mark and his photographs are discovered, a prestigious New York gallery sets up an art show. Suddenly Mark's homemade therapy is deemed "art", forcing him to choose between the safety of his fantasy life in Marwencol and the real world that he's avoided since the attack.

| KPBS.orgBeth AccomandoMarwencol is a mesmerizing documentary, and like Mark Hogancamp it continually surprises you. It may also be one of the best films you'll see all year. |
| Urban CinefileAndrew L. UrbanExtraordinary, astonishing, revealing, unique |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)The beauty of "Marwencol" is that, by the time it's over, wanting to live in a doll village doesn't sound so weird because we understand exactly where Hogancamp is coming from. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrA strange and very beautiful documentary about the gray area between obsession and art. |
| Montreal GazetteJohn GriffinThis is outsider art in its finest, most unsettling expression. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasWatching Marwencol, Jeff Malmberg's probing documentary on Hogancamp's undertaking, is an exhilarating, utterly unique experience. |
| Playback:stlSarah BoslaughThe film Marwencol is as mesmerizing as Mark's imaginary town and treats him and his world with absolute respect |
| Window to the MoviesJeffrey ChenSpeaks to the addictiveness, the catharsis, the unpredictability, and the eternity of the creative process. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisFour years in the making, Marwencol emerges as a number of things: an absorbing portrait of an outsider artist; a fascinating journey from near-death to active life; a meditation on the brain's ability to forge new pathways when old ones have been destroyed. |
| Chicago ReaderJ.R. JonesThis moving documentary sidesteps the usual art-world debates over the authenticity and legitimacy of outsider work; instead director Jeff Malmberg simply immerses us in Hogancamp's world, just as Hogancamp immerses himself in the title town and its horrors. |
