I Used to Go Here Ratings & Reviews

November 14, 2024
Gillian Jacobs lovely performance makes this film all the more funner. She displays her meaningful acting talents in several comedic and dramatic scenes.
IndieWire
Kate Erbland
Armed with her funniest material to date and a winning performance from Gillian Jacobs, the filmmaker finds new dimensions for both her work and the millennial ennui that has always inspired it.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
The lightly carbonated fizz of "I Used to Go Here" has everything to do with Rey's deftly chosen ensemble.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
With modesty, precision and wry compassion, "I Used to Go Here" limns human nature at its most contradictory and indefinable, offering a textbook example - at least until the right German word comes along.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Gillian Jacobs stars in this scrappy college comedy about a failed author who visits her alma mater looking for a confidence boost. Don't be fooled by filmmaker Kris Rey's playful style - her characters walk the same moral minefields as the rest of us.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
I Used to Go Here features a very well-drawn character arc, thanks to Rey's script, but Jacobs fills it with heart and feeling.
AV Club
Katie Rife
The results of the experiment are uneven, but isn't experimentation what college is all about?
Crooked Marquee
Kimber Myers
I Used to Go Here balances its wistful approach to college days with genuine thoughtfulness about adulthood.
Slant Magazine
Derek Smith
The film is almost sadistically driven to turn a woman's trip down memory lane into fodder for cringe humor.
Austin Chronicle
Shalavé Cawley
By the end, Kate admits "[her book] could be better." Maybe this is a tongue-in-cheek acknowledgement that real life doesn't always make for a great movie.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Claudia Puig
An observant and funny independent film with some very good performances.
Variety
Peter Debruge
Likable enough, but a little too tame to make much of an impact...
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
When it isn't straining credulity, an incisive cringe-fest with heart.
Vanity Fair
Richard Lawson
Jacobs poignantly communicates that insistent itch, the dawning and evolving realization that life has less of a cumulative momentum than Kate imagined it.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
At its best, I Used to Go Here is a fun hangout movie, driven by Rey's affection for her characters.
The Playlist
Kristy Puchko
What Rey and company offer is empathy for the frustration of fearing you're failing at adulting and desperately wanting a way out.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Tries to get by with only charm.
Screen Queens
Amelia Harvey
Whilst I Used to Go Here asks thorny questions about hypocrisy, consent and professor-student relationships, but it doesn't offer them with a deep answer nor any stinging comic observations in response.
The Reader (Omaha, NE)
Ryan Syrek
Writer/director Kris Rey's film argues you should be careful when you go poking at your memories with a stick. The most likely result is that your brain goes full pinata, spewing chunky globs of your perception and self-worth all over your mental carpet.
Pop Culture Leftovers
Josh Davis
For a film with two very talented and funny leads in Gillian Jacobs and Jemaine Clement, "I Used to Go Here" is ... surprisingly average.
