Wendy Ide of ''[[Screen Daily]]'' wrote that "Matt and Mara is one of those films in which very little concrete happens, but the tingling possibility that something might makes it compelling. The appeal is largely due to the casting – Cambell [sic] and Johnson have an undeniable chemistry that is magnified by the improvisational freedom of the picture’s approach. And the agile camerawork deftly captures not just the finely-honed details of both performances, but also the increasingly charged space between the characters."<ref name=ide/>
In a negative review, Sarah Manvel of Critic's Notebook noted, "[the film] 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."<ref>https://www.criticsnotebook.com/2024/02/matt-and-mara-movie-review-deragh-campbell-matt-johnson-kazik-radwanski-berlinale.html#more</ref>
