On the Count of Three

"A rousing tragicomedy that straddles a line between incredibly calibrated gallows humour and a devastating discourse on the burden of existence."

"It’s the unusually wrought friendship and the frank mental health discussions that keep (the film) on track."

"Carmichael and Abbott exhibit minimal chemistry on screen..."

"A piece that is grounded foremost in empathy and selflessness."

"It’s a dangerous and somehow enjoyable movie that dances around the edge of an open wound from start to finish..."

"(It) is an uneven movie, not quite sure how to balance its bleak subject matter with the comedy credentials of its writers and director/star."

"A weird, lively contrivance: a self-consciously gimmicky buddy flick that’s informed with jolts of anguish and gallows humour."

"Somehow, this movie makes light out of total darkness without losing any of the heaviness that comes with it."

"On the Count of Three is a trifle, but an original one: an existential buddy comedy of despair."

"An appropriately sour (last) day-in-the-life that affords a few bitter laughs along the way."
