The Playlist
It knows how to mock cliché big things, like jokes about set-dressing and music video montages; it’s also wise about small matters, right down to the font and the framing device. - 80
Film.com
They Came Together is a very fast, often very funny riff on a very tired Hollywood formula. - 75
IndieWire
In terms of its pure laughter quotient, They Came Together constantly delivers. - 75
Slant Magazine
What results is chaotic but ultimately focused, bound by an intense devotion to disassembling genre and narrative standards. - 75
Hitfix
There are probably funnier satires out there, but They Came Together is laser accurate in the way it skewers its targets. - 70
