Other People Ratings & Reviews
Slashfilm
Angie Han
There are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, many of which are intermingled with sob-out-loud moments. It helps greatly that first-time director Chris Kelly maintains a low-key, naturalistic vibe throughout.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
Other People is gentle, heartfelt, and of a delicate build. Kelly's best observations are small but true: the touching banality of a bad pop song, and that "other people" is in fact most people, if you're paying attention.
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
"Other People" breathes new life into the formulaic, dark comedy about death.
What the Flick?!
Alonso Duralde
Just when you thought you never wanted to see another Sundance movie about an uptight white guy whose mom has cancer, along comes this funny, honest film, featuring a game-changing performance by Molly Shannon.
New York Times
Daniel M. Gold
Inherently melodramatic, the film belongs to Ms. Shannon, who vividly etches Joanne in a full end-of-life range: funny, loving, angry, regretful, exhausted, resigned.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Cancer and coming out aren't exactly fresh topics for an indie film, but here they have the authenticity of lived experience, and both Shannon and Plemons are exceptional.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Smart, lovely, funny, occasionally edgy, slightly cynical and ultimately heart-tugging.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Emotions run deep and wide here; anyone who's ever lost a parent, longed for love and acceptance, or tried to find his or her true self should easily relate. It's a terrific film.
Washington Post
Alan Zilberman
Poignancy is a difficult thing to achieve, since it can come off as inauthentic or dumb. "Other People" gets there because David, Norman and Joanne do not want our pity.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
If the film at times feels like it's clicking off the boxes of an indie-film checklist, it still has some genuinely emotional scenes, particularly those between Shannon and Plemons.
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
Kelly's someone who knows that the biggest laughs are often the hardest to earn-the ones that come when the punchlines are delivered without a safety net.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
A number of Kelly's scenes play out like stand-alone sketches - some quite funny; not all of them essential - rather than parts of a whole. But that's easily forgiven considering the candor of his insights and his strong cast.
AV Club
A.A. Dowd
It's a little easy, a little obvious, but there's still an undeniable specificity to it-the sense that it comes from someplace genuine.
Village Voice
Nick Schager
Despite a strong sense of its characters ... Kelly rarely generates much melodramatic or amusing momentum.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
Mines moments both absurd and divine to craft its delicately wrought pathos.
Slant Magazine
Keith Watson
The film is at its sharpest when Chris Kelly hands scenes over to his main character's family and friends.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
A sensitive look at a man's long goodbye to his dying mother, Chris Kelly's Other People understands that even primal grief and fear can't always squeeze out mundane self-obsession.
The Playlist
Noel Murray
"Other People" is ultimately a cancer dramedy about the life lessons learned by someone other than the patient-where one person suffers for someone else's enlightenment.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Shannon is superb, and first-time writer-director Chris Kelly (who writes for "SNL") gives her great lines she delivers with aplomb.
Variety
Justin Chang
Strong performances from Molly Shannon and Jesse Plemons help this often flailing cancer-themed seriocomedy find its footing.
