- 90Film ThreatAlex SavelievFilm ThreatAlex SavelievUproarious. 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.
- 90Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayLos Angeles TimesNoel MurrayThis 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.
- 83The PlaylistAsher LubertoThe PlaylistAsher LubertoAndrew 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.
- 80Screen RantMae AbdulbakiScreen RantMae AbdulbakiSomewhat disorienting and riddled with deep-rooted anxiety, fear, and uncertainty that is expertly portrayed, All My Friends Hate Me is a standout.
- 80The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisDancing 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.
- 79Paste MagazineAndrew CrumpPaste MagazineAndrew CrumpAll 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.
- 75Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreStourton (“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.

- 75IndieWireDavid EhrlichIndieWireDavid EhrlichInspired 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.
- 67Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerAustin ChronicleRichard WhittakerSocial 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.
