Rachel Sennott is known for her work in comedies such as “Bottoms,” which she co-wrote and starred in alongside Ayo Edebiri, “Shiva Baby” and “Bodies Bodies Bodies.” And the star’s latest film, “I Used To Be Funny,” a dramedy, comes to further prove that she is one to watch.
“I Used To Be Funny” was written and directed by Ally Pankiw, in her directorial debut. The drama-comedy premiered at the 2023 South by Southwest festival, as well as having its Canadian premier at the 2023 Inside Out Film and Video Festival, where it won the Audience Award for best narrative feature film.
The movie stars Sennott as Sam, a stand-up comedian living in Toronto who is struggling with depression that has impacted her career after Brooke (Olga Petsa), a young girl for whom she previously served as a nanny, goes missing.
When and where to watch ‘I Used To Be Funny’ online
The film “I Used to Be Funny” is currently playing in limited theaters in the US and Canada. So, you have to check availability at your local theater. However, according to WhenToStream.com, the film will be released on VOD on June 18.
That means that it will be available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, Youtube, Apple and more. However, it’s unclear when the film will be available on streaming and on which platform.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the movie is distributed in the US by Utopia, which also distributed “Shiva Baby” and “The Sweet East.” The latter landed on Hulu after a limited release, which means that “I Used To Be Funny” could have a similar fate.
