Lousy Carter might be a reminder that middle age is filled with monotony and unsolvable problems, but that doesn’t mean our movies have to be.

It’s a terrific performance, one that speaks volumes even as it explores the acute limits of Lousy’s emotional intelligence.

Rated: 2.5/4

New York Times

Turn the concept of a laugh-out-loud comedy inside-out and you’ll have a feel for Byington’s sense of humor: a sustained cruel hum, the room tone of a crypt.

The People's Movies

Lousy Carter earns its title. It’s a cynical, depressing outing that, like its anti-hero protagonist, fundamentally lacks self-awareness.

Rated: 1/5

Byington is an acquired taste, and one that I recommend. Discomfort is hardly ever this distilled.

Rated: 8/10

the character is so frustratingly morose that none of the comedic beats, all of which are played in the same parched way, land

If you like very dry humor, you may like this. This is not a main stream film.

An odd little movie that takes the "guy finds out he's dying" trope in a different direction. Worth the price of admission just for the hour and a half of Krumholtz.

I absolutely loved it! Completely worth your time. Better than the book.

Krumholtz was amazing in this film. Flashes of humor with transparent undertones of sardonic humor made an unlikable character absolutely charismatic. This movie captured the zeitgeist of this post covid time.

This is a funny and smart and moving film. I didn't expect the strange comedy inside a story about a sorta regular guy with six months to live. Will look for other Byington movies.
