Somebody I Used to Know

"A gratifyingly fresh spin on an old formula."

"(A) heartrending romantic dramedy."

"This is an odd combination of broad semi-satirical humour and deeply serious hugging and learning."

"It’s a kitchen-sink approach. Not everything works."

"Brie is, as always, enormously appealing."

"There's a low-key charm to the movie's knowing spin on familiar beats."

"A rom-com that features smart but insufficient pivots from classic formulas."

"(The film) tries a little too hard to be funny."

"Upbeat but minor..."

"Somebody I Used to Know comes dangerously close to being interesting."

"The story is grounded and steeped in authenticity from start to finish..."

"A distinctly empowered subversion on My Best Friend’s Wedding and fellow rom-coms that came before it."

"The story treads too-familiar ground, its saving grace being a charismatic cast and knowing the value of a well-placed Third Eye Blind riff."

"A well-meaning dramedy with a great cast and admirable ambitions — but which never quite finds a good groove."

"The film leans a little more toward quirky-indie sensibilities.."
