Variety
Presented as if filtered through a sunny Instagram setting, Greener Grass won’t exactly make you envious of the over-idealized lifestyle it skewers, and yet it’s such a delightful place to inhabit, you won’t want to leave when the credits roll. - 90
Film Threat
Greener Grass is over-the-top hilarity. It’s grounded. It’s smart. It’s downright disgusting. - 88
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Fortunately, Greener Grass is as enticing as it is bizarre, and even if you don’t immediately find yourself frolicking amidst its braces-wearing populace, give it time: you’ll eventually be lured in by their take on suburban normal. - 83
IndieWire
DeBoer and Luebbe have further expanded their nutty vision of suburban ennui and the painful consequences of keeping up with the status quo into an unsettling and amusing send-up of human behavior. - 80
The Hollywood Reporter
The cast commit enthusiastically to the material, walking that fine line between comic exaggeration and an almost earnest dramatic sincerity. - 75
Slant Magazine
In the film’s world, there can be no real resistance, as the suburbs have already won. - 75
The Playlist
Counterbalancing a tongue-in-cheek treatise condemning the shallow obliviousness of the upper-middle class with niche comedic thrills, Greener Grass earns its reputation as a delightfully nauseating charmer that should be regarded as a salvia-covered tour de force for years to come. - 67
The Film Stage
Nothing is more subjective than comedy and this brand will surely turn many off. No matter. Those behind Greener Grass are clearly unfazed by the weirdness. They wallow in it, unabashedly. If only they kept it up for the whole one-hundred minutes.
