Simultaneously hypnotic and unnerving, it asks some rather uncomfortable questions about the nature of art and the potential and limits of self-healing.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Director Jeff Malmberg sees something in Hogancamp that he wants all of us to see, an imperfect human scarred by horrific trauma who nonetheless finds a reason to live.
Hogancamp's alliance with director Jeff Malmberg in this artful and poignant film marks a victory in the war against the self.
A fine, delicately nuanced portrait of an artist compelled by mysterious forces to create something utterly unique.
If you have even a passing interest in outsider art, you owe it to yourself to see "Marwencol."
