Tom Stourton stars in a drolly funny dark comedy of manners about social anxiety, obnoxious banter and subtly brutal class dynamics.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 18, 2024

What the film does is it walks this tightrope between being on the one hand funny and on the other hand creepy and unsettling and slightly horrifying and it's a very difficult balancing act... All My Friends Hate Me manages to keep that balance.

| Jan 11, 2024

All My Friends Hate Me is a deliciously disquieting, paranoia-fuelled social anxiety horror-comedy made even more hilarious and meaningful by how incredibly relatable it is.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 13, 2023

ALL MY FRIENDS HATE ME is a murderously funny horror-comedy where the real body count consists of the character’s relationships, friendships and, possibly, their souls.

| Dec 28, 2022

This disturbingly relatable dark British comedy/thriller does an amazing job of turning social anxiety and general awkwardness into excruciating cinematic terror, while also being very funny.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Dec 2, 2022

All My Friends Hate Me reminds us that cringing and laughter are separated by the thinnest of hairs, because it tightropes along that very hair.

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.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 16, 2022

Andrew Gaynord’s feature film debut is a dark and delicious satire that makes for an excruciating watch, in all the best ways.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 29, 2022

Despite the occasional lapse into Fast Show caricature, this Peter’s Friends-style drama really isn’t bad.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 13, 2022

An assured and uncomfortably funny debut that will leave you asking which member of your friendship group is really the awful one. Recommended.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 13, 2022

Andrew Gaynord’s debut feature doesn’t quite hold together, but the atmosphere of twitchy paranoia is horribly effective.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 12, 2022

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 10, 2022

The antithesis of the warm-and-fuzzy gatherings proffered onscreen over the years by the likes of Kenneth Branagh and Richard Curtis, Andrew Gaynord's film directing debut is compulsively watchable, in an increasingly grim way.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 10, 2022

The character types are bruisingly authentic, yet the nuanced and sophisticated script never once degenerates into needless posh-bashing.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 10, 2022

There are razor-sharp performances and very funny moments that capture the feelings of doubt and anxiety when you are unsure if you really fit in any more.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 10, 2022

It's nicely acted and bowls along, and we feel for Pete as his anxiety and sense of alienation mount, but I'd have bought into it more if a couple of the characters hadn't been such roaring caricatures.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 10, 2022

It’s a clever film, and surprising, and compelling. Yet it is also an endurance test. You won’t regret seeing it, but you will be so glad when it’s over.

[All My Friends Hate Me] adds to that mix some crisply British elements, such as an extreme sensitivity to class, as well as some universal ones, including the tension in postgraduate friendships between maintaining the status quo and moving on.

| Jun 9, 2022

Combining comedy, cringe and creepiness, All My Friends Hate Me is a short, snappy and seriously entertaining spiral into peer-related paranoia.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 9, 2022

With its watch-through-your-fingers cringe factor, this is an excellent black comedy of amiss-ness all round.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 9, 2022
