Review of Welcome to Me (2015) by Anthony I — 01 Sep 2015

Welcome to Me aims to be high comedy, and high drama all at once. Guess what? It nails it. Kristen Wiig's performance is explosive. Her comedy chops compliment her acting ability brilliantly. She plays a multiple personality, manic-depressant to an astounding degree.

I believed her as Alice, 100%. Welcome to Me, is essentially, Wiig's show, and nothing stops her. However, it leaves other performances to be desired. The rest of the cast goes through the motions, almost as if to clear the stage for Wiig to shine.

That's not a bad thing, clearly, but sometimes a little more character depth for the rest of the cast would've been nice. This film has a lot of shocks, surprises, and laughs abound. It's an excellent little movie.
