"The movie is a rare indie gem worth discovering" 

"'I Used to Be Funny' does pull together diverse tonal and thematic strands to impressive effect" 

"I Used to Be Funny” is a fine showcase for Sennott’s considerable gifts" 

"The film isn’t perfect, stumbling slightly when it’s making its best effort to be funny. But when it lets its incredibly talented actors do their thing, having conversations that feel authentically improvised, it flows seamlessly" 

"Pankiw and Sennott bring Sam’s story to life with an inventive yet sensitive approach, creating a sympathetic portrait of someone learning to cope with the tragedies of life and embrace their funny side despite everything (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
