Los Angeles Times (Kevin Thomas)
Although the film's narrative line sometimes proves hard to follow, and some of the songs heard on the soundtrack seem to have little to offer beyond sheer noise, Kill Me Later is a gem, even if a little rough around the edges. ...read the complete Kill Me Later movie review at Los Angeles Times (Kevin Thomas)
Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)
Kill Me Later is based on a short film of the same name, and that's probably how it should have stayed. At 90 minutes, there just isn't enough to sustain heavy interest without a lot of unnecessary padding, and that's just what we get for most of the dura ...read the complete Kill Me Later movie review at Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)

Baseline.Hollywood.com (Ted Murphy)
Dana Lustig has taken a fairly heavy-handed approach, treating the material as if it were the basis of a longform music video ... ...read the complete Kill Me Later movie review at Baseline.Hollywood.com (Ted Murphy)
Mr. Showbiz (Kevin Maynard)
Badly employing all kinds of tricks ... [Lustig] ultimately overpowers her actors and does in her own film. ...read the complete Kill Me Later movie review at Mr. Showbiz (Kevin Maynard)

New Times (L.A.) (Andy Klein)
Despite the generally likable characters and the abundance of clever ideas, Lustig mucks it all up with her "trick" editing. ...read the complete Kill Me Later movie review at New Times (L.A.) (Andy Klein)
TV Guide (Maitland McDonagh)
The film's liabilities include Lustig's excessive reliance on flashy editing, tacky special effects and a blaring alterna-rock soundtrack that's used to make the characters' thoughts and motivations painfully obvious. Among its assets are the clever ...read the complete Kill Me Later movie review at TV Guide (Maitland McDonagh)

The New York Times (Stephen Holden)
The screenplay never begins to finds a workable balance between wit and adventure. And the performances in several smaller roles are so mechanical that they lend Kill Me Later the tone of a vanity production. ...read the complete Kill Me Later movie review at The New York Times (Stephen Holden)
Village Voice (Ken Switzer)
Her every gesture exaggerated, Blair acts as if she's performing in a silent film, but unfortunately, the film itself isn't silent -- the jam-packed alterna-rock soundtrack further emphasizes the obvious. ...read the complete Kill Me Later movie review at Village Voice (Ken Switzer)
LA Weekly (Chuck Wilson)
Shawn is clearly meant to have deep feelings, yet the filmmakers have saddled her -- and Blair -- with a shallow angst that bums out the whole movie. ...read the complete Kill Me Later movie review at LA Weekly (Chuck Wilson)
filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)
Just about scrapes bottom, if for no other reason than the obnoxious camerawork and editing which has every scene re-enacted rapid-fire multiple times from multiple angles, usually with pulsing music over the whole thing. The story is wholesale idiotic, t ...read the complete Kill Me Later movie review at filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)
Compuserve (Harvey S. Karten)
Film school editing only makes matters worse in a film that looks made to fit into WOR-TV's 5 p.m. midweek schedule. ...read the complete Kill Me Later movie review at Compuserve (Harvey S. Karten)

The performances in several smaller roles are so mechanical that they lend Kill Me Later the tone of a vanity production. ...read the complete Kill Me Later movie review at New York Times (Stephen Holden)
Entertainment Today (Brent Simon)
A long-on-style-short-on-insight mish-mash... the filmmakers trade on credit they haven’t earned, hoping you’ll fill in the narrative gaps. ...read the complete Kill Me Later movie review at Entertainment Today (Brent Simon)
