	Author	Review
United States	Kate Erbland IndieWire	"A funny and smart study of millennial ennui (...) 'I Used to Go Here' is proof that Rey’s has a lot of potential."	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"Sometimes I wished the film didn’t feel quite so thin, but I enjoyed spending time with the people in it (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Kristy Puchko The Playlist	"A charming comedy of low stakes and big heart. Rey prods at the mundane indignities of adulthood with a keen eye and a gentle touch"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"Likable enough, but a little too tame to make much of an impact (...) a more professional version of the DIY comedies that launched Rey’s career"	NEU
United States	Lea Palmieri Decider	"All of this is brilliantly led by Jacobs (...) It’s a simple story but it’s done really well and remains delightful throughout"	POS
United States	Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"Plot-wise, the movie tends toward the contrived and cartoonish. But Rey has a knack for recognizing everyday stabs of awkwardness and turning throwaway lines into grace notes."	NEU
Canada	Josiah Hughes Exclaim!	"A fantastically subtle comedy (...) The result is a film that both fun and aching, like a coming-of-age movie for people in their mid-30s"	POS
United States	Ann Hornaday The Washington Post	"An observantly funny comedy that exquisitely captures the emotional weather of simultaneously belonging and unbelonging"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"A beguiling comedy of manners: exquisitely awkward and painful, but also with a lovably broad streak of farcical absurdity (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
