A funny, horrible, ordeal-by-comedy. Exquisitely uncomfortable. Ferociously witty... a wincingly accurate self-assessment of both class anxiety and life-stage/generational angst. VARIETY
A razor-sharp ensemble piece that finds humor and terror in a common anxiety… the film has the tension of a great horror movie — although the nightmare it dramatizes is painfully real. LA TIMES
Funny and menacing… A delicious, fearless dive into age-related angst and chronic insecurity. NY TIMES [CRITICS PICK]
The British white-knuckler All My Friends Hate Me is easily one of 2022’s most gripping features. GQ

JON PLOWMAN
Jon Plowman OBE is a legend of the UK comedy industry and it’s hard to find a notable sit com in which he hasn’t had a hand. His astonishingly distinguished career demonstrates his instinct for pioneering new talent. He has produced a string of break-out, internationally successful shows such as The Office, Absolutely Fabulous, The League of Gentlemen and The Thick of It along with other national favourites like The Vicar of Dibley and W1A. Those shows may all have become household names but Jon has also had a hand in cult classics such as People Like Us (Julia Davis), 15 Storeys High (Sean Lock) and Time Trumpet (Armando Ianucci). Jon has kept a keen interest in Stourton & Palmer’s careers ever since he saw them in their award-nominated Edinbugh production of Totally Tom. He is now delighted to be working with them in the official capacity of Executive Producer.
