PRAISE FROM TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL - JUNE 2021
“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
“Riddled with deep-rooted anxiety, fear, and uncertainty that is expertly portrayed. Unexpectedly poignant and multifaceted... one of the most nuanced and memorable of the year.” — Screen Rant
“Uproarious. Disturbing. Melancholic. Shrewd. Only no single word will do this minor masterpiece justice.” — Film Threat
“Dark, sinister, and very funny. A hilariously discomfiting screenplay by Tom Palmer and Stourton that director Andrew Gaynord executes with deadly precision.” — Roger Ebert.com
“A ticking bomb of a panic attack, replicating the same feeling in the viewers watching too. The whole thing is held together tightly with that distinctly British razor-sharp wit.” — First Post
“The already strong premise gives way to something even more interesting. All My Friends Hate Me is full of surprises and Stourton is as sharp in playing Pete as he is writing for him.” — The Moveable Fest
“A deliciously disquieting, paranoia-fuelled social anxiety horror-comedy made even more hilarious and meaningful by how incredibly relatable it is.” — Loud & Clear
“Cleverly constructed, creeping tension, the picture boasts a dazzling ensemble of actors, nifty writing and great technical skills.” — Cineuropa
“A wickedly hilarious, anxiety-inducing drama. I was on the edge of my seat... a gripping character study with a generous helping of thrills.” — Mashable India
“Thrills, chills, and delights in equal measure…made even more authentic through its biting wit. ” — Bloody Disgusting
