All My Friends Hate Me

This movie is like a horror movie except there is no masked killer, evil spirit or unstoppable monster. The horror comes from the social interactions. In this movie this character navigates through multiple social interactions with some unlikeable characters, that never work out in his favour, which some may find relateable. I understand this movie will not be for everyone but it is not deserving of the 1 stars.

I think if you've experienced social anxiety (which does not mean simply getting nervous in groups, it means debilitating and disabling fear of being embarrassed/humiliated and doing the wrong thing) you'll get the spirit behind this.

Social anxiety as a disorder is something that, at its core, twists your perceptions until you can't tell what's real or not. Everyone's watching you. Everyone's laughing at you. Everything you do is stupid. Everyone is talking behind your back about how stupid you are. You can no longer trust anyone else - or yourself.

You even gaslight yourself. It's a sort of unintended self-abuse really. I think this movie took all that and escalated it into a darkly comedic psychological thriller. The film didn't work for me, hence my so-so rating, but I love the concept. Mental illness IS a horror movie. This film can put you in the shoes of someone with mental illness, and for that alone it's worth a watch.

What a strange movie. Despite being overburdened with anxiety and experiencing a recurrence of the same problems, things are only getting worse.

The film's entire premise is to immerse you in Pete's (the protagonist) experience. Rather than your "friends," it's the movie that's making you feel what he's feeling.

The experiment was interesting, and the prank on the viewer lasted quite a while. The production values are high, the acting is top-notch, and the casting couldn't be better.

Putting the viewer in the same situation as the protagonist and having him feel just as befuddled as he does - well done.

As far as I can tell, there isn't much else to say or other purpose pursued by the creators. And it's not a horror, yeah.

An experiment that is clearly not for everyone's liking.

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 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.
