Review of Welcome to Me (2015) by Dylan D — 12 Jun 2015

Welcome to Me is more often than not an entertaining little diversion. The film is dominated by a flawless and fun performance from Kristin Wiig in what might very well have been the performance of a lifetime if she was surrounded by a more deeply rich, fully developed, and emotionally satisfying story.

As it is, Welcome to Me grows tiresome and repetitive through its second act and it disappoints with a rather simple and shallow character arc beyond the qualities Wiig brings to the part. But it's still fun in spots and always intoxicating under the spell of Wiig's efforts.

This could have been something special, but it's too hollow to be anything more than a mildly entertaining diversion with a top-flight lead performance headlining.
