	Media	Author	Review
		David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"A fascinating meta-performance study (...) An original, unexpectedly affecting tribute to two distinctive comic performers."
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"A ticklish meditation on comedy and identity (...) 'Jim & Andy' is fleetly edited and engrossing, animated by a sense of discovery."
		Lee Marshall Screendaily	"[A] compelling meta-cinematic documentary (...) It makes for powerful and stimulating viewing whether or not a game is being played with viewers."
		Jordan Hoffman The Guardian	"The result is insightful, inane and wildly entertaining (...) The material of [Carrey] on set is unbelievable (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Glenn Kenny rogerebert.com	"[It] functions in a postmodern matrix of infinite reiteration. It also has a few laughs, thank heaven."
