Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayMar 11, 2022
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

Film ThreatAlex SavelievJun 18, 2021
Uproarious. Disturbing. Melancholic. Shrewd. All adjectives that the marketing teams behind Andrew Gaynord’s terrific dark comedy All My Friends Hate Me are welcome to use for promotional purposes. Read full review

The PlaylistAsher LubertoMar 21, 2022
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

The Irish TimesTara BradyJun 14, 2022
At its best, All My Friends shares DNA with both the social dread of Ruben Östlund’s get-togethers and the leylines of Ben Wheatley. Hints of English folk horror — a pitbull tied up near a car, accusing looks at the driven grouse shoot — add to the delicious disquiet. Imagine if Ben Wheatley rebooted Curb Your Enthusiasm.

EmpireSophie ButcherJun 14, 2022
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

The TelegraphTim RobeyJun 10, 2022
With its watch-through-your-fingers cringe factor, this is an excellent black comedy of amiss-ness all round. It’s about millennials, their fibs, and their failures. Read full review

Time OutPhil de SemlyenMay 31, 2022
This enjoyably mean-spirited black comedy set in a grand country house will have you wondering who your real friends are – and what they really think of you. Read full review

The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisMar 10, 2022
Dancing on the line between funny and menacing, the ingenious script (by Stourton and Tom Palmer) is a tonal tease, a limbo where every joke has a threatening edge and every “Just kidding!” only increases Pete’s unease. Read full review

Screen RantMae AbdulbakiJun 26, 2021
Somewhat disorienting and riddled with deep-rooted anxiety, fear, and uncertainty that is expertly portrayed, All My Friends Hate Me is a standout. Read full review

Paste MagazineAndrew CrumpMar 9, 2022
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

IndieWireDavid EhrlichMar 24, 2022
Inspired by a rush of paranoia that Stourton once experienced at a wedding where he felt unwelcome, All My Friends Hate Me effectively splits the difference between Ruben Östlund and Ben Wheatley as it pinballs between squirmy laughs and sly horrors. Read full review

The Film StageJared MobarakMar 10, 2022
The result is as funny as it’s excruciating and alienating as it’s relatable. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreMar 8, 2022
Stourton (“The Spy Who Dumped Me”) makes a depressingly relatable Mr. Put-Upon, with a hapless humorlessness that makes that “one of the funniest guys on the planet” the biggest insult of all. Read full review

Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerMar 23, 2022
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

The Observer (UK)Wendy IdeJun 12, 2022
Andrew Gaynord’s debut feature doesn’t quite hold together, but the atmosphere of twitchy paranoia is horribly effective. Read full review

The IndependentClarisse LoughreyJun 9, 2022
Audiences may spend the running time of All My Friends Hate Me waiting impatiently for the shoe to finally drop. But Stourton and Palmer’s script points heavily at a secret that’s far less satisfying in the reveal than it is in the build-up. Maybe that’s the point. Here’s a film that leaves you with the same sickly, hollow feeling you might get spending time with the ghosts of your own past. Read full review

CineVueTom DugginsJun 7, 2022
What we’re left with is a sort of Blairite middle-ground where punches are pulled and no one really comes in for too much flack. Where’s the fun in that? Read full review

Little White LiesAdam WoodwardJun 10, 2022
The film keeps us guessing to the end, although a lack of character development and some ponderous plotting means it’s hard to care too much about the fate of Pete and the others. Read full review

The GuardianPeter BradshawJun 8, 2022
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
