Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Apr 11, 2017
I Hate Myself :) centers on two thoroughly repellant, self-absorbed figures with whom spending time proves a nearly intolerable trial. Go to Full Review
Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Apr 5, 2017
Ugly to look at and even uglier to listen to, Joanna Arnow's whiny documentary "i hate myself :)" plays like an especially brutal exercise in self-analysis. Go to Full Review

It's difficult to label Arnow's cinematic voice, and this particular film, or why anyone would even want to watch something so personal, but i hate myself :) is never not fascinating. Go to Full Review

Filmmaker Joanna Arnow consciously undercuts these desires and takes great care to deny us a comfortable, comprehensible narrative. The problem is she doesn’t do much else. Go to Full Review
Eric Monder Film Journal International Apr 7, 2017
Deceptively simple cinéma-vérité piece is hard to stomach but thought-provoking. Go to Full Review

R T @RT10930264 2 days ago This movie is pathetic and just shows how lost and unknowable of the world and how it works. Sad mostly , this young girl of forsaken by everyone cause she lets herself be the victim to people who treat her terribly. Her bf/ ex bf , her parents, the world. I hope she learned something from it, how to be stronger … oh yeah and stop hanging out with naked dudes. This is like watching a horror horror movie where the person can get into the running car and escape. Or go and hide back in the house where you’ve been tortured, and you go back into the house. Also your parents don’t wanna see your sex tape, much less the movie. See more Flier C @skyplane Jan 4, 2026 I saw other people online reviewing this autodocumentary and calling it uncomfortable and cringy to watch. It sure is. Joanna seems to surround herself with unempathetic people who mistreat her to reinforce her negative beliefs about herself. This film was so unabashedly personal and human. I will absolutely check out more of her works; I just hope she no longer accepts this type of treatment from anyone. See more Read all reviews
