| We Got This CoveredDarren RueckerThe unique performance skills of Kristen Wiig prove to be as well-suited to a strange little drama like Hateship Loveship as they are to her beloved comedy. |
| AV ClubMike D'AngeloThis particular character is so thinly written, and so aggressively nondescript, that it’s just a terrible fit for her(Wiig), resulting in a preposterous wish-fulfillment fantasy with an enormous void at its center. |

| Washington PostAnn HornadayHateship Loveship sneaks up on the viewer, not only in the way the story takes its unlikely turns, but in Wiig’s own portrayal of a woman discovering desire and, in the most subtle way possible, acting on it. |
