Friendship Ratings & Reviews
Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)
Mark Kermode
If you were in a street in which Punch Drunk Love and The King of Comedy were two houses [next to each other], this would be the film that moved across the street and then tried to be your friend.
The Atlantic
Shirley Li
Instead, it fearlessly-and wackily-reckons with how confounding people can be in their bid for one another's approval: at work, at home, at their new friend's house while dressed in their finest Ocean View Dining clothing.
Chicago Reader
Kat Sachs
While there are definitely a few smart laughs, the film felt like a hastily thrown-together product.
The New Yorker
Justin Chang
It suggests not just a subversion but a putrefaction of the Ruddy-comedy genre -- a portrait of male loneliness so totalizing, and so scarily close to the bone, that laughs and screams all but bleed together.
Boston Globe
Odie Henderson
I didn't cringe while watching any of Craig's behavior, because this movie is too afraid to go anywhere dangerous.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
Rudd's Austin is sometimes a completely different person from scene to scene, as if writer-director Andrew DeYoung were trying to fit the characters to the plot requirements instead of vice versa.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Robinson is a hilarious time bomb of discomfort, and it's a credit to writer-director Andrew DeYoung that he applies the brakes and doesn't let the movie go pitch black in tone.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
"Friendship" is primarily a movie for Robinson's hardcore fans, but, for the Tim-curious, it serves as an amusing - if haphazard and uneven - introduction to his distinctive sensibility.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
The teaming of Robinson and Rudd periodically gets "Friendship" in gear. But the film's primary comic impulse equates to the sound of gears grinding, in an attempt to shift from second to third.
Salon.com
Coleman Spilde
With "Friendship," DeYoung hasn't just called his audience to look at how they approach their own relationships; he's created a film that men can see together that demands a discussion afterward.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Alison Willmore
Familiarity isn't a bad thing when the talent involved is this good at it.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
How much Tim Robinson is too much? Maybe the exact amount you get in Friendship.
Slate
Dana Stevens
It may well be that the anarchic comedic talent of Tim Robinson, and his chemistry with the reliably appealing Rudd, is enough to sell this bold if uneven experiment in squirm-inducing metacomedy.
Chicago Reader
Maxwell Rabb
Friendship does not waste one second of its 100-minute runtime, jumping from bit to bit without losing steam or its narrative focus.
New York Times
Alissa Wilkinson
Yet that same energy keeps the movie watchable even in its lagging stretches, especially since Rudd is there to provide a foil with a handsome confidence that occasionally takes a weird turn.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
The whole of Friendship isn't as attractive as the sum of its disparate parts, and you wonder if a more concise, focused version of this look at the self-consciousness of dudes trying desperately to bond wouldn't have hit better.
The Reveal
Keith Phipps
'Friendship' is extremely funny, but also filled with dark undercurrents that intensify over the course of the film, as Craig's desperation mounts and his attempts to recover his footing prove alternately short-lived and disastrous.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
"Friendship" is a visually, sonically, and musically immersive work, far more than a sitcom in feature form.
Associated Press
Mark Kennedy
Do us all a favor and see it with your buddies. And if you see a guy there all alone, maybe reach out?
TheWrap
Chase Hutchinson
Never could the story be described as a series of sketches haphazardly stitched together as many comedies can fall into being. It looks and feels like a drama that is coming apart at the seams as Robinson careens his way through it.
