Alison Willmore New York Magazine/Vulture A scabrous satire about navigating an industry that parrots all the right things about wanting women's stories, but doesn't actually seem to have changed that much... Aug 11, 2021 Full Review David Stratton The Australian The writer-director-actor takes a while to hit her stride, but by the end the viewer is likely to be unnerved and amused by this display of egocentricity, homicide and low-budget film-craft. Rated: 3.5/5 May 24, 2021 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times An entertainment that, for all its frayed edges, never falters in its delivery of disgraceful, outrageous, tasteless gags. Rated: 4/5 Apr 23, 2021 Full Review David Parkinson Radio Times Several gags misfire and the lo-fi film-making technique is a little self-conscious, but I Blame Society often feels cringingly, winsomely authentic. Rated: 3/5 Apr 7, 2022 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews It's a goofy comedy. Rated: B Jun 26, 2021 Full Review Molly Adams In Review Online I Blame Society chooses both its protagonist and her society as the dual targets for its satire, making it far more incisive and effective.

Melissa L This was one messed-up movie. The idea was original...and that's about the only redeeming quality about this movie. I don't recommend it. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/19/24 Full Review Aaron K A decent student film that critics will love because it's about the film industry. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/16/24 Full Review brad p Gillian Wallace Horvat's killer satire shows just how fun it can be to be famous in your own head. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review bill p Brilliant peace of satire sending up the Hollywood indeed film world. Brings a matter-of-fact murder to new heights. Gillian Horvat plays herself as a filmmaker who wants to really make it real. The comedy comes through in her casual discussion of murder and the horror comes through… well, in the murdering. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member yeah idk - i've seen others compare this to the Creep franchise, but Creep was INFINITELY better. this wasn't even on the same golf course, let alone up to par with Creep. although, it was creepy. the main girl is a walking red flag, I'm not sure how she got her boyfriend to begin with let alone keep him for as long as she did. I'm actually not sure i liked it, but it's a pretty good depiction of something - i don't know what - an aspiring filmmaker who also happens to be a little mentally unstable? lol. idk. I'm not mad i watched it, but i don't think i'd recommend this one. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Whiny, slow, self-centered mental masturbation. It was viscerally repellent and disgusting, like watching Lena Dunham talk about molesting her little sister. Also can we get some elocution lessons please? The words are clear, but this nasal vocal fry, jfc. Unbearable. Shakycam warning for migraine, motion sickness, and seizure patients. At first it doesn't look like it will have that, but of course it does. This filmmaker will spare no effort to make people sick. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
