All My Friends Hate Me - 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

Dark, sinister, and very funny. A hilariously discomfiting screenplay by Tom Palmer and Stourton that director Andrew Gaynord executes with deadly precision. ROGEREBERT.COM

Andrew Gaynord’s directorial debut walks a careful line between horror and comedy, before escalating into a brutal and cutting satire of privileged millennials. LITTLE WHITE LIES

Uproarious. Disturbing. Melancholic. Shrewd. Only no single word will do this minor masterpiece justice. FILM THREAT

the script moves with purpose and vigour while the uncomfortable atmosphere mounts… excruciating to watch as he navigates his social paranoia, the psychological terror imbued with a stark British humour. WE LOVE CINEMA

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

Thrills, chills, and delights in equal measure…made even more authentic through its biting wit. BLOODY DISGUSTING

Cleverly constructed, creeping tension, the picture boasts a dazzling ensemble of actors, nifty writing and great technical skills. CINEUROPA

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
