Rolling Stone

A clever and charming ride that frequently serves up fun surprises

Empire Magazine

Up there with Lord and Miller's best work.

Financial Times

The meeting point of Rashomon with the self-referential, punchline-deferring humour of comedies such as Community and The Good Place.

Variety

Becomes more intriguing and much funnier than it might've been thanks to the sharp actors embodying each different genre.

Los Angeles Times

Exceedingly delightful, cleverly constructed, adeptly acted comedy-mystery.

Independent

While the cast... are generally likeable, and there’s a certain freshness about its commitment to being two things at once... it isn’t amusing enough to be enjoyed as pure comedy.

Chicago Reader

The only thing this tone-deaf pastiche-fest defies is a reason to be seen.

Hollywood Reporter

It's smart, with thoughtful ideas to offer those who feel like engaging with them - but it's concerned first and foremost with having a good time.

Slant Magazine

Tonally jumbled...

Paste

A really good time...

Decider

(The Afterparty) deftly blends intrigue and hilarity into one compelling story..

Collider

Already one of the best debuts of 2022.
