This movie is not really a comedy, though it does have Rachel Sennott's brand of humor and jokes peppered throughout. I actually thought the main premise was fairly compelling, and when everything was working, it was really engaging. Unfortunately, at random moments, the acting/dialogue/editing would suddenly become very amateurish and take me out of the movie. It just happened sporadically, and it felt like I was almost watching two different movies. The movie landed the emotional punches when it counted though. Because of this, I think it's still a good watch despite some of its rougher edges.

**Ingenious on how it portrays the effects of trauma. Started out confusing, then painfully clear, and resolved in a hopeful way.**

Familiar feminist talking points and Sennotts usual vocal-fry heavy comedy make _I Used to Be Funny_ a bit of a middling dramady. It can't quite strike the balance between dark humour and harrowing, resulting in a stilted delivery that never quite flows the way it needs to. The unfolding of the mystery is well constructed and compelling, and Sennott steps out of her brattish screen persona to give one of her best performances to date; it's just not enough to push this above mediocrity overall for me.

I appreciate what it is going for but lands more in a early 2000s indie by way of an after school special.
