Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times More redundant than offensive. Rated: 2/5 Jun 7, 2013 Full Review Amy Nicholson Los Angeles Times At least it doesn't lack in big moments where people cry and scream. Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 6, 2013 Full Review Sam Adams Time Out It barely tries to offer insight into its much-debated subject, content to rip the scab off an ever-fresh wound for the sake of controversy. Rated: 1/5 Jun 4, 2013 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com It's a call to look at ourselves, our families, our schools, our workplaces, and our communities and doing everything that is within our power to do. Rated: 3.0/4.0 Sep 10, 2020 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Lacks any kind of elegance or finesse, instead bluntly bludgeoning its audience with the obvious, exuding all the grace of high school theatrical production. Aug 22, 2019 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Hello Herman suffers not so much from its boldly stated anti-bullying agenda but from its failure to come to any conclusions. Rated: 2/5 Aug 19, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I think its pretty cool, it really shows all sides and how bullying can affect kids in other ways than suicide. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/31/25 Full Review Audience Member It is actually great, I dont understand the critics, I enjoyed it and it deserved it's 73% audience score! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Focuses more on adult characters and their problems than the title character himself who happens to be the textbook stereotype of depressed bullied white boy school shooter. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member emotional yet worth watching film. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member An amazing movie with a powerful story and a great cast. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member an example of art imitating life or vice versa Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
