	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Mark Kermode The Guardian	"It hurts just enough for us to care, sinking its storytelling teeth deep enough to draw blood, while still retaining the flesh-wound frivolity of cackling morbid fun (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Simon Abrams rogerebert.com	"At no point is it clear that writer/director Billy O'Brien (...) and co-writer Christopher Hyde know how real teenagers behave, let alone real crazy people (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Katie Rife AV Club	"What sets 'I Am Not A Serial Killer' apart from other takes on this 'killers hunting killers' concept (...) is its naturalistic, character-based approach (...) A uniquely wry tone"	POS
United Kingdom	Hamish Macbain Empire	"Breathing new life into the overfamiliar terrain of the serial killer (...) His film deserves cult classic status at the very least (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Daniel M. Gold The New York Times	"Billy O’Brien nicely balances the tedium of small-town life (...) with an unnervingly creepy vibe. Unfortunately, the plot goes off the rails in the second half."	NEU
Ireland	Tara Brady Irish Times	"A sour, wicked film that neither looks nor feels like the rest of the busy sub-genre (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Kate Muir The Times	"The enjoyably gory and wry 'I Am Not a Serial Killer' takes the small-town-teenage-outcast trope into macabre territory (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
