Greener Grass Reviews
A hypnotic watch, yet hard to pin down.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 21, 2019
Greener Grass feels sometimes episodic, but it can be an incredibly entertaining romp through the picket fence yards of an America that only exists in our collective unconscious.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 24, 2019
The warped and idiosyncratic passions, animosities, materialistic desires, mating habits, and social dynamics of suburbia (where everyone only drives golf carts) are on full display in Greener Grass...

This movie is nuts and I totally dug it... It is candy-colored, it is weird, and it is out there. I laughed the whole way through.

Like all good satires, Greener Grass trucks in exaggeration.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 18, 2019
"Greener Grass" is a movie that's not only immediately destined for cult status - it's the rare movie that truly earns it.

Greener Grass is as enticing as it is bizarre, and even if you don't immediately find yourself frolicking amidst its braces-wearing populace, give it time: you'll eventually be lured in by their take on suburban normal.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 17, 2019
It's gloriously nonsensical - and yet, it reverberates with eerie truth.

The repetition can start to feel overdone, but the best jokes are acutely-crafted and sold with impressive deadpan by DeBoer, Carden and Bennett.

A deadpan take on suburban hell - I hesitate to call it a comedy, black or otherwise - the movie takes competitiveness to such excruciatingly surreal lengths that every would-be joke feels agonizingly strained.

Greener Grass is a lavishly bizarre comedy that dives deep into the surreal and uncomfortable to satirize the suburban ideal of house, husband, family, stuff.
| Oct 16, 2019
The wickedly weird (and often wonderful) suburban satire crams more inventive ideas and clear-eyed perspective into 95 minutes than most billion-dollar franchises can do over the course of a dozen movies.
| Original Score: B+ | Oct 15, 2019
In the film's world, there can be no real resistance, as the suburbs have already won.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 11, 2019
Greener Grass is always in control of its deeply bizarre, suburban surrealist tone, even when its story is more like a series of comedy sketches than a feature film.
| Original Score: B- | Aug 2, 2019
Doesn't quite sustain high-pitch hilarity for its entire 102 minutes, but at its best it's still pretty freaking funny.

While it has solid character jokes and goofiness, the movie becomes inert by its end.

"Greener Grass" won't exactly make you envious of the over-idealized lifestyle it skewers, and yet it's such a delightful place to inhabit, you won't want to leave when the credits roll.
