All My Friends Hate Me

A curious tale that begins well then flails, was there a point, or a meaning, any wind in its sails, mental health, ignorance, belittling or cold shoulder, whatever it was left an empty beholder. A group of mostly dislikeable people who consider themselves friends reunite to celebrate Pete's birthday, but poor old Pete struggles to gel with these friends of old and instead of getting kaylied as most people in his position would he develops a sense of paranoia and extreme misinterpretation that accelerates as fast as a cheese wheel rolling down a hill and, in the end, crumbles and disintegrates into an unrewarding platter, full of holes, with an odious and dissatisfying pong.

While movie is somewhat entertaining, at the same time, it seems missing some depth or exposition. It is supposed to portray the feeling of paranoia and awkward unrest and overthinking of the anxious person, however, from what is shown to us, the friends of the main character are actually being really mean to him and his paranoia in this care is actually justified. Now it might be the case that we're dealing with an unreliable narrator and what we're seeing is main characters over-exaggerated point of view, however, the movie doesn't really give much indication of such thing, which while makes the main character more relatable, because anyone would be paranoid in his shoes, one the other hand, makes the movie fundamentally fail as a psychological piece about paranoia and anxiety.

Great suprise, good acting, tense, hilarious, lasered smart script Really had a good time, make sure to be fully present from beginning to end to enjoy the experience, quality genre movie.

This movie is not a comedy, nor horror. It was borderline depressing. Felt like the movie was just one long flatline. Was waiting for something to happen- some kind of twist or turn., just was one big long bore.

Welp this was disappointing. So a group of friends gather for Pete's birthday and ofc a comedy of errors ensues. I like British humor/dark comedies, but I wish there was more to this. It has kind of an April Fools Day atmosphere, but it's done in such an unkind way. I have to say his friends were not nice to him. There's joking and then there is being a jerk. I would've interpreted it the same way. Everyone's tone was far from sarcastic. And the jokes were mean spirited and traumatizing. If someone I knew pointed a gun at me, they wouldn't be in my life. Same with someone coming into the bathroom and destroying any sense of boundaries. The hell is wrong with these folks? The plot continues because Pete refuses to speak up right there and then. Not to mention their off handed comments about how he is and ignoring what he says. Yes, he's def in his own head and not listening. But the lazy script has them say something pretty harsh and then just walk away and then act like they love him?? Pete is in full neurosis mode and you don't like him or anyone else at the end. If there was better misdirection or even something along the lines of, he was hallucinating how they were speaking to him, something to believe his paranoia; I think the ending would've landed better. I mean a dude starts chasing you with An axe and then says, just kidding mate..uh I'm outta there. Here we can already guess everyone is messing with him. Pete reveals to have caused someone's sister to kill themselves and misinterpreted the usurper Harry's motivation. To be perfectly clear, everyone was acting one way. There's no chance anyone would think it was all a big joke. Especially with the roast they do at the end. It's not even classy, they just have the guy straight up says what they feel in once again an insensitive way. And they all get free passes mind you, Only Pete is the bad guy. Sure he's selfish, but his friends act like he's not even a person, complete gaslighting the whole time. There's one scene that put such a sour taste in my mouth. One of the lousy friends guilt trips about how one of the girls he used to date attempted suicide and the timing of him getting a new girlfriend may have had something to do with it; really messed up. There's a way to do dark humor combined with unlikable people. You need to make them somewhat endearing. Use their flaws as a strength to make the story flow. Here it's just surface level. It's like the Anti-Big chill. Needed a better script and structure. It all just kind of ends and we don't know if he still has friends or not; Probably not. I find the cliche of friends turn out to be not friends worn out. Fiancé still marries him after he throws a vase at Harry's head and inadvertently caused someone with disabilities to off themselves; real nice. Wouldn't recommend.

I'm really not sure how I feel about this movie. The film's message is pretty easy to pick up on not too far in, but the execution of everything, all the way to the end is just... perplexing, honestly. It's really the last 15 or so minutes that fumble the film, as things get flipped around in what feels like an attempt to subvert expectations. However, based upon everything presented in the movie this twist makes no sense whatsoever.

Absolutely loved this film, Stourton is great lead, you're with him every step of the way. Great balance of awkward comedy and extreme tension. Will keep you gripped!

I feel like I watched a different movie than other reviewers. I felt disconnected from the story throughout the film. There wasn't enough development for me to care about any of the characters; exempt maybe the lead. The plot was weak and uninteresting. Maybe it's British humor that just isn't my cup of tea, but I didn't find any humor in the scenes that were supposed to be funny. If I'm still thinking of or talking about this movie after tonight it won't be in a positive way.

This is an all-around well-made movie. It's very catchy, and you stay hooked to the narrative till the end. But I just don't get it. What's the point of it all? I can't figure it out. It certainly isn't horror. If you're looking for a horror flick, that's not it at all, despite being categorized as such here. It seems like a morality play of some kind. But even then, I don't understand, not only what the director is trying to convey, but why this entire plot was produced at all! It's not scary, not funny, not really mysterious despite an attempt, maybe, at being a bit mysterious, it's not a thriller, as there is no real thrill, it is possibly dramatic, but to a very limited extent, it certainly isn't comical, it's not sweet, it's not hard or tough or shocking or romantic... It's not either one of these amusing plots by their absurdity. I just don't get it! I don't understand why I just spent the last 93 minutes watching this. Ironically, I don't have anything negative to say about the production itself, once again. But the film is like the ancestral cod liver oil older generations were taking: so disgusting, so tough to take, but "good for you", yes! Take one every morning as you get up! "What is that good for, exactly?" were you asking. Aw! Well, they didn't know precisely. They just knew it was, indeed, "good for you". After watching this film, I feel exactly as if I had taken a full table spoon of the stuff. And I'm sure I won't know what, exactly, it was "good" for.

This is one of those movies that you really need to watch if you know nothing about it. I had no knowledge or preconceptions of the film and I thought it was amazing. All the characters feel completely authentic and you are taken on a roller coaster ride of emotions. If you are looking for a blockbuster or a gore fest this isn't for you. Really well written, great cast, acting was faultless, a proper hidden gem loved it!
