The New York Times -
The result isn’t another ho-hum documentary likeness in which all the elements neatly and often flatteringly stack up. “Jim & Andy” is instead a complexly layered and textured Cubist portrait, one that’s been constructed from fragments of its two title subjects and their work.

Screen International -
It makes for powerful and stimulating viewing whether or not a game is being played with viewers.

|
Variety -
Jim & Andy is fleetly edited and engrossing, animated by a sense of discovery.

|
Los Angeles Times -
Catnip for comedy nerds and psychoanalysts, "Jim & Andy" works as both a vibrant raising-of-the-dead for the crazed, showbiz-piercing genius that was Kaufman — there's plenty of footage from his performance-art career — and a peek into the mind of a massively talented, box office-busting comedy star at a self-doubting, turbulent time in his life

The Guardian -
It isn’t nearly as deep as it thinks it is, but it is marvellously entertaining.
