Matt and Mara Ratings & Reviews
Video Librarian Magazine
Kathy Fennessy
Though some viewers might find the characters off-putting as they dance around their desires, anyone who's ever been in-or witnessed-a similar situation is likely to be more forgiving. Plus, there are only so many films about male-female friendships.
Variety
Guy Lodge
Radwanski's script is low on incident -- and the film, at a tight, jittery 80 minutes, can afford to be -- but this tension keeps it taut and urgent, in the manner of particularly gripping people-watching.
The SS Ben Hecht
Stephen Silver
It sounds like it should be a standard love triangle plot - the plot description makes it sound like something Michael Douglas might have starred in in the '80s - but that's not really what this is
Movie Madness Podcast
Erik Childress
Johnson and Campbell are really good here in not overtly showing their cards as they navigate their reunited friendship. Films often botch these kinds of relationships and yet this one seems rightly modulated with that little hint of pain underneath.
Asynchronous Media
Christopher Cross
A two-hander carried comfortably by the endearing yet tumultuous chemistry between its two stars, Matt and Mara pries at social anxieties in a wonderfully nuanced character study of people navigating complex feelings in their personal and artistic lives.
Spectrum Culture
Devon Webb
Some viewers may find themselves frustrated with the film's hesitancy to provide a conclusion, but it doesn't set out to answer its own questions - it merely asks them within the context of the millennial experience.
trans|cendental cinema
Mattie Lucas
An unassuming film, small in scale and short in length, but its impact is something quite lovely and lasting.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
A nebulous bid to capture the tension between a seemingly cozy marriage and a romantic fling, and between the academy and the outside world, "Matt and Mara" is less a movie than an idea for one.
In Review Online
Chris Cassingham
Matt and Mara's low-key register is its strength, and loosens up a filmmaker's style so as to embrace the quotidian without sacrificing his distinct vision.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Mildly engaging and harmless, but undercooked, meandering and ultimately forgettable.
RogerEbert.com
Marya E. Gates
The film offers no easy answer for their situation. No happy resolution. There is just love in all its forms; messy and simple, spoken and unspoken, shared and hidden.
Cinema Daily US
Abe Friedtanzer
This film is short but emphatic and inviting, a fascinating slice of life that lingers long after the credits roll.
Loud and Clear Reviews
William Stottor
Kazik Radwanski, Deragh Campbell and Matt Johnson reunite for Matt and Mara, an enjoyable but surface level look at a messy, forbidden relationship.
AWFJ.org
Nadine Whitney
Two imperfect and indulgent people who open and close doors in their relationship as they hold each other to account simply by existing. Matt and Mara emerges as tender depiction of a bittersweet, deep and complicated connection.
AWFJ.org
Alexandra Heller-Nicholas
This is a careful, considered and considerate film, an authentic portrait of two people at a transformative moment full of all the life and humour and contradictions shared by us all.
Next Best Picture
Connor Lightbody
While "Matt and Mara" is amusing and has some fascinating themes to make a movie around, it's so disorganized that it seems like Radwanski accidentally discovered penicillin when trying to find smallpox.
InSession Film
Hector A. Gonzalez
It all adds to the silent, pocket-sized beauty that lingers during Matt and Mara.
Moveable Fest
Stephen Saito
A sly and sharply observed comedy.
Critic's Notebook
Sarah Manvel
"Matt and Mara" could have been delicious. But in this form we are not even being served the cookie dough. All that's here is some raw ingredients with the hope we'll mix them ourselves.
