Review of I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore (2017) by Derek M — 24 Feb 2017
Humorous. Violent. Empathetic of the times. "I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore" is a very solid indie thriller with it's finger firmly on the pulse of everyday frustrations. Writer/Director Macon Blair builds on his brilliant resume (see: Blue Ruin, Green Room) with a deft ear on what might ordinarily be a simple genre driven story, Blair's punchy plot twists blended with his quirky and off-kilter dialogue really leads this film to unique places.
Buoyed by great performances by Melanie Lynskey and Elijah Wood, this Sundance winner has all the makings of a cult film. Some might see this film somewhat akin to "God Bless America", and they wouldn't be wrong, but what other films of this ilk miss that "I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore" does have is that ever-present glimmer of hope.
.. and don't we all need a little of that? Reviewed 2/24/17. Rated 4 stars out of 5.
