From Annapurna Pictures (Spring Breakers, Sorry to Bother You, Booksmart) and Orion Pictures, Jerrod Carmichael makes his directorial debut and stars in On the Count of Three, a darkly comic feature about two best friends, Val (Carmichael) and Kevin (Christopher Abbott), on the last day of their lives.

Critics Consensus

It's occasionally uneven, but On the Count of Three finds director/star Jerrod Carmichael attempting an ambitious blend of drama and dark comedy -- and often succeeding.

Simultaneously funny, depressing, and life-affirming, On the Count of Three isn’t a macabre masterpiece like, say, Barry, but it scratches a similar itch.

3.5/5

Very well acted, with a refreshingly dark sense of humour and briskly paced, the film impresses on a number of levels.

4/4

Comfort has never felt more discomforting than it does in On the Count of Three, a profound new comedy about suicide, mental health, depression, and the absurd lengths we go to help the strange people we love.

The Treatment (Substack)

On the Count of Three has negative interest in being a morality play; a decision that arguably contributes the most to the film’s refreshing, compassionately transgressive attitude on suicide.

4/5

Jerrod Carmichael has found his niche in On the Count of Three. He takes this script with confidence and quite frankly, directs the hell out of it.

On the Count of Three has a number of interesting ideas at play. While the film doesn’t always work, the performances of Carmichael and Abbott are enough to see it through to the end.
