Reviews

The Guardian - Nigel M Smith
It’s Shannon who leaves the most lasting impression.... She effortlessly mines the material for all its uncomfortable laughs.
75
The Film Stage - Ed Frankl
Kelly’s earnest, reportedly auto-biographical film has a lot of laughs and is best when it’s most deeply personal.
70
The Hollywood Reporter - John DeFore
Kelly depicts a deep filial love that isn't dependent on complete telepathic understanding.
70
Screen International - Tim Grierson
Small moment by small moment, Other People turns Kelly’s own experiences caring for his mother into something touchingly universal.
63
Slant Magazine - Keith Watson
The film is at its sharpest when Chris Kelly hands scenes over to his main character's family and friends.
