Leave your thoughts about I Used to Go Here.
| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyThis sounds very dark. But I Used to Go Here, grounded by a beautiful performance from Gillian Jacobs, treats its subject light-heartedly, while still managing to be honest. |
| The A.V. ClubKatie RifeI Used To Go Here would rather be painfully relatable than cutting. |
| The GuardianPeter BradshawWhat’s so funny about the film is that it shows how very little divides your early-twentysomething self from your mid-thirtysomething self – you’re never too old to be humiliated. |
| IndieWireKate ErblandArmed 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. |
| The PlaylistKristy PuchkoRey prods at the mundane indignities of adulthood with a keen eye and a gentle touch, creating a movie that is daffy but not dumb and a heroine who is complicated but not a lost cause. |
| Original-CinKim HughesA strong ensemble cast ably supports Jacobs as she navigates palpable feelings of inadequacy and misguided affection. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperThroughout, the always likable Gillian Jacobs creates a memorable portrayal of a woman who’s a mess but still rather wonderful. |

| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsThe lightly carbonated fizz of I Used to Go Here has everything to do with Rey’s deftly chosen ensemble. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversRey deserves credit for comic observations that sting. |
