"HELLO I MUST BE GOING is at once an intriguing character study and a refreshingly offbeat romance." - Calvin Wilson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"...A sincerely personal take on its subject matter, opting for three-dimensional leads and earned pathos over quirky character traits, cynical humor, or an invasively stylized visual approach." - Landon Palmer, Film School Rejects

Well made film about an unusual romance, and the characters learnt about themselves. Very enjoyable, and I venture to say that Judith would say 'Good'.
Christopher Abbott + Melanie Lynskey are wonderful actors - sweet to see them connected in the film but the casting was a little strange. Nice film, easy watch. Really liked the sentiment about the delayed realization of how the wrong person makes you feel.
The film was refreshing and the ending was unexpected.
Really sweet movie :)
Insipid film with too much twee music. Disappointing because I like all of the actors in it.
Loved it. A little predictable, but sweet. Great acting!
Sweet, engaging movies. Odd to find it under comedies, because it isn't what I would call a comedy. It had a few comical cringes, but nothing that will keep you rolling in the aisles.
The chief actors were great. Believable, accessible. Very likable film.
I like this movie a lot, and I love Melanie Lynskey!
Very good! Fun, engaging, funny, well acted. Good balance of upbeat and depressing. I love the music of Laura Veirs!
I was engaged from beginning to end and appreciated the realistic characters.
poignant, well done and great performances
I only found out about this 'kanopy' service today so I only skimmed the movie
Not that impressed. Music was dull, some scenes were cute but it did not emotionally hook me in any way. Seemed to be a disjointed story that was not worth the watch
Loved this movie! Subtle and on point.
I enjoyed this "feel good" movie, although it doesn't seem so at first. There is quite a bit of self discovery in more than one character.
Pretty good. One of those, "you're not the only one going through a huge life change that has you questioning what's next?" type of film.
Had no idea that was a type of film!
A nice surprise.
complexity vulnerability transition redemption discovery and other good things.
I really enjoyed this surprising little gem. One of the best I've seen on Kanopy
A fairly engaging movie. Melanie Lynskey plays the role pretty well. She did drop the "f" bomb more times in this movie than I've ever heard out of one mouth before, tho!
