Critics Consensus

Greener Grass is far from the first comedy to skewer suburbia -- but it might be among the most bizarre and surreally distinctive.

There are no words. This was the dumbest movie, the biggest waste of time and the biggest waste of money. Period.

So good, so weird. Better with bong hits.

If you like the surreal absurdly funny, this will be right up your alley. Hints of Monty Python's Meaning of Life sketches i.e. "Can we have your liver then?" and if you liked the Ministry of Silly Walks ;)

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

This film is an exercise in absurdities, but sometimes normal things are said and happen. Creepy at times and hilarious at other times. I actually found it watchable enough to make it through the whole thing.

This movie is terrible. It makes no sense whatsoever with no coherent plot other than "polite lady does what people want and it ruins her life". It is not funny. I laughed once AT the film not with it. The most bizarre thing about it is, you watch the film where strange things happen and everyone just accepts it as normal, but then you read the amazing reviews and see 4-5 star ratings for it and wonder for a sec if the "plot" of this trash has spilled over into your real life. I genuinely do not see why it gets such good reviews. The aesthetics are pretty I guess.

Utterly bizarre and powerful. The comedic elements surprisingly do not outweigh the sickness of Greener Grass.

A hypnotic watch, yet hard to pin down.

Austin Chronicle

Greener Grass feels sometimes episodic, but it can be an incredibly entertaining romp through the picket fence yards of an America that only exists in our collective unconscious.

Rated: 3.5/5

Nick Schager

The Daily Beast

The warped and idiosyncratic passions, animosities, materialistic desires, mating habits, and social dynamics of suburbia (where everyone only drives golf carts) are on full display in Greener Grass...

I laughed a lot following these shallow, dim-witted rivals amid a sea of suburban superficiality.

This future cult classic hilariously picks apart society's most excruciating habits.

Their Own League

There is so much to unpack in Greener Grass and the only way to truly understand the world of it is to see the film. One of the funniest comedies of 2019, the film is sure to be a cult classic.

Rated: 4.5/5
