This movie is uncompromisingly discomfiting, meant to remind people of all those drunken nights where they overreacted to every well-intentioned joke, and woke up choking on the stench of burned bridges. Read full review

Andrew Gaynord’s All My Friends Hate Me is an incredibly funny look at social anxiety and a send-up to those risks, mixed with a shot of cringe and a dose of horror. Read full review

Combining comedy, cringe and creepiness, All My Friends Hate Me is a short, snappy and seriously entertaining spiral into peer-related paranoia. Read full review

All My Friends Hate Me digs out a special niche between cringe comedy and horror, as if Stourton, Palmer and director Andrew Gaynord welded an EC Comics plot to an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Read full review

The result is as funny as it’s excruciating and alienating as it’s relatable. Read full review

Social anxiety abounds in velvet-black British college reunion comedy All My Friends Hate Me, a seething sneer of a satire that swirls around angst-plagued Pete (Stourton), the milquetoast member of a group of friends who come together to celebrate his birthday. Read full review

This struck me as that kind of comedy horror in which (like much romantic comedy) the “comedy” half of the equation has gone missing. Read full review

Very fun movie. I don't think many people would hate this. It's the sort of thing I'd recommend to anyone who's stuck for something to watch.

What stops it getting a higher score is a slight lack of originality and inventiveness with the cinematography and so on. Compare it to somethingVery fun movie. I don't think many people would hate this. It's the sort of thing I'd recommend to anyone who's stuck for something to watch.

What stops it getting a higher score is a slight lack of originality and inventiveness with the cinematography and so on. Compare it to something like Knives Out where the fun isn't only in the plot and dialogue but also the editing and camerawork and overall polish. It also lacks a little warmth and humanity, I couldn't really connect with any characters on a deep level. This could be intentional, to allow the audience to feel as disconnected as the protagonist, but I didn't especially connect with him either.

Despite this, it does succeed in making the audience feel as confused and self-doubting as the main character, and works as a kind of absurd metaphor for social anxiety. I thought the ultimate posh guy was an interesting and revealing character, he is clearly the one suffering the most, and yet our protagonist is too busy worrying about what others think of him to really notice. It made for a nice little statement on how the narcissistic element of anxiety can harm people other than the patient. I don't want to get into spoiler territory, so will only say that I wasn't completely buying the ending and hope people understand why. I did experience weapons-grade nuclear cringe though, so that was interesting.… Expand

The sense of discomfort this film employs is as much for the character as it is for the viewers, in that it is quite effective, but I also think that the plot pushes the sense of social anxiety too far, especially in terms of how far it stops feeling believable and moves into more hesitantThe sense of discomfort this film employs is as much for the character as it is for the viewers, in that it is quite effective, but I also think that the plot pushes the sense of social anxiety too far, especially in terms of how far it stops feeling believable and moves into more hesitant territory.

I mention this because considering how much the other characters incite and insist on the anxiety and confusion of the situation with the main character, I even went so far as to say, ''At what point do you tell them to go **** themselves?''

All My Friends Hate Me works as a perfect case of reconnecting with friends you haven't really had much contact with in years, but yet you think you'll be able to restart everything exactly where you left off. But it's clear that's not how things function in this story.

This is a dark comedy with elements that invite horror, more than anything because of the paranoia element involved.
I think a better pace would've helped it a lot, because the lack of variety in its tone causes some scenes to feel a bit boring and I really think it needed more bite, because if you're already being inconvenient and incisive, then go for it all, don't stay half way.… Expand
