It’s disarmingly sweet, and that makes it scary. The jokes are as innocuous as possible. The terror lies in the straight-faced approach... There’s a Lynchian vibe that permeates the air.

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

This hilarious stroll onto the other side demonstrates the downside of excessive civility and welcomes the extravagantly silly side of district mania. And it’s nothing short of hysterical.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jul 14, 2024

I laughed a lot following these shallow, dim-witted rivals amid a sea of suburban superficiality.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 21, 2022

This future cult classic hilariously picks apart society's most excruciating habits.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Mar 13, 2021

There is so much to unpack in Greener Grass and the only way to truly understand the world of it is to see the film. One of the funniest comedies of 2019, the film is sure to be a cult classic.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Sep 23, 2020

An intermittently brilliant and always unique take on the darkness of suburban conformity.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 16, 2020

DeBoer and Luebbe have (along with director Janicza Bravo, who appears in the cast) a new cinematic niche of Nouveau Weird with a debut that's a marvelous mix of striking elements while managing to be as funny as it is oddly heartfelt.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 10, 2020

Hypnotically bizarre, Greener Grass is Pleasantville bent at the angle of a sports injury you almost can't bear to watch.

| Original Score: A- | Jun 8, 2020

DeBoer and Luebbe's pitch-perfect script hammers these messages with striking, original vision, creating a film that is truly exceptional.

| Feb 22, 2020

...it feels overlong, purposeless, and designed to make you squirm in your seat.

| Feb 11, 2020

While the on-the-nose social commentary never wavers and not everything works, there is a wonderful commitment to making a comedy unlike any other you'll see this or any other year.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 6, 2020

This is some stunningly stilted comedy . . . and while it doesn't come close to warranting its 101-minute runtime, the attention to detail here is too strong to dismiss.

Happiness is but a trick of evil. We take. We squander. And we forget our pain just long enough to suffer through it all again.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jan 3, 2020

Jocelyn DeBoer and Dawn Luebbe solidify themselves as reigning queens of satire.

| Dec 6, 2019

Greener Grass is full of dark, delicious weirdness. Don't look too hard for deeper meaning.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 25, 2019

Though our world has become a rather strange place it is in no way as bizarro as directors Jocelyn DeBoer and Dawn Luebbe short film Greener Grass.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 24, 2019

Greener Grass is strange in the best way, and that's just what I look for in a comedy. Jocelyn DeBoer and Dawn Luebbe created a wonderfully surreal comedy that perfectly captures the absurdity of suburbia.

| Nov 23, 2019

[Greener Grass] might have been funny on paper, but it dosn't work on the screen and even ends up being irritating. [Full review in Spanish]

| Nov 22, 2019

A hypnotic watch, yet hard to pin down.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 21, 2019

Greener Grass ridicules a very American way of suburban life and social interaction that perhaps doesn't have as much visceral relevance in this country: the idea is stretched thinly, it's a laugh but the fun palls over a feature length film.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 19, 2019
