Reviews were highly positive : Roger Ebert wrote of the film , " A wonderful movie , a story of high spirits and hope and courage . " A contrasting review in '' The New York Times '' read in part , " '' Mask '' is one of those movies that try so hard to get their supposedly universal message across ( do n't we all hide behind a mask of one sort or another ? ) that they are likely to put your teeth on edge more often than they bring one little , lonely teardrop to the eye . " Michael Westmore and Zoltan Elek won the Academy Award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling in the 58th Academy Awards
