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