By the end of “Don’t Think Twice” I felt I knew each of these people. I knew their personalities, their struggles, and their aspirations. Most importantly I cared.

Don't Think Twice happens to be one of the funniest and kindest films of 2016.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 2, 2021

Birbiglia masterfully captures the improv vibe.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 6, 2020

Don't Think Twice, Mike Birbiglia's second feature film, stands taller than his previous feature, a slender work.

Full Review | Mar 13, 2020

Birbiglia dips one toe into comedy, but he also grounds his film in reality.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.25/5 | Dec 5, 2019

While Don't Think Twice might not be as hilarious as you'd expect from this cast, it's great to see them flex their muscles with more dramatic material.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 15, 2019

Bitingly honest, revealing, insightful and hysterical, Twice is an off-kilter comedy that resonates because it feels like an inside road map into the chaotic lives of the featured troupe members utilizing improvisation as their creative tool of trade.

Don't Think Twice runs you through a gamut of emotions without any bitterness, only earnestness.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 1, 2018

Through the arguments and the sadness and the jealousy, Don't Think Twice remains a quietly jubilant film, celebrating the way improv makes something - a laugh, a family, a partnership, a career - out of nothing.

It's a hilarious but moving look at the realities of navigating the stages of adulthood, and one of my favorite films of the year.

Full Review | Aug 23, 2018

"Don't Think Twice" is realistic, the characters multi-layered, and the execution admirable and thought-provokingly engaging.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 22, 2018

While Don't Think Twice shies away from the dark and demented impulses of standup, it exposes the uncomfortable realization that change is a necessary evil when it comes to creating great art.

If you are a fan of improv comedy, Don't Think Twice is a movie that was made for you.

Full Review | Nov 19, 2017

Humorous look at the stalled career of a stand-up comedian.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Nov 13, 2017

While it's equal parts funny, poignant and trenchant, the film mostly acts as a pulpit for Birbiglia to vent his frustrations pointedly at the person who eclipsed his career.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 5, 2017

Don't Think Twice actually shows Birbiglia to be in the mold of Robert Altman, a naturalistic filmmaker sympathetic enough to show even the "bad" characters in a good light and caustic enough to tarnish the supposed heroes.

Full Review | Oct 17, 2017

Don't Think Twice has comedy as its subject, but it is a far more dramatic and perplexing affair than a comic one.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Sep 12, 2017

The film is not a grand exercise in maturation but in reality.

Full Review | Aug 28, 2017

Mostly, it's like a lo-fi cover of Morrissey's "We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful." Kind of whiny, kind of mean, and kind of true.

Full Review | Aug 18, 2017

Altogether, [Don't Think Twice] makes for a full-blooded study of performing and one of the most honest, most love-filled films of the year.
