Critics Consensus

I don't feel at home in this world anymore. transcends its unwieldy title to offer timely, intoxicatingly dark observations on gender dynamics and social norms in modern America.

Josh Kupecki

Austin Chronicle

It's a film that so confidently walks the shuriken edge of laugh-out-loud funny and cringe-inducing violence.

I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore trades in the kind of us-versus-them mentality that characterizes our current political discourse.

Lynskey delivers a charming, captivating turn that roots the proceedings in everyday feelings of powerlessness, hopelessness, frustration and fury.

Consistently funny, the film actually works best when it plays more or less straight.

Rated: 6.3/10

This film is not for the squeamish - it does get increasingly gory and violent towards the end. It is also a funny and easy watch for a Friday night.

Rated: 8/10

But even as the film dips to some truly unsettling depths, there is an undercurrent of humor that keeps the film fresh, lively, and relatable, due heavily to an empathetic performance from Lynskey.

A bizarrely sweet, depressing, violent, and hilarious movie all wrapped in one shaken cocktail of emotions. This movie takes the everyday relatable frustrations of our life when dealing with assholes and plunges into a crazy bloody vigilante rabbit hole adventure from the likes of “The Big Lebowski”. Melanie Lynskey and Elijah Wood have terrific chemistry and share great comedic timing and likability. You really buy their friendship despite all the oddities they encounter. It’s nice seeing the two of them work together again after their amazing voicework in “Over the Garden Wall”. The movie covers mature themes of finding good and bad faith in humanity, coping with how small and insignificant your place in the world may feel, depression, alcoholism, vigilantism vs bureaucratic complacency, sour nepotism, and persevering with hope for a better future.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Lynskey is one hell of an actress. Her character felt so real. Interesting from start to finish and very original. Loved every scene and every second of this movie. Kudos to everyone involved…actors, directors, producers, casting, et al. Thanks for great entertainment.

A surprisingly well-put-together crimi-comedy, with a thin existential overlay.

What would it take for people to not be assholes?! A young nurse learns that her house has been broken into and utilizes the help of an eccentric neighbor to find the these, getting entangled in their upcoming heist in the process. A darkly comic thriller that manages to be charming amidst the craziness that ensues, making this a film that shouldn't be overlooked!

I felt it was a bit slow at first, but none the less interesting. It gradually progressed to a crescendo of righteousness and vindication. I loved it and want more! The screen play and acting were so original and professional there are not adequate superlatives in my vocabulary. I felt happy for days after viewing and I hope my review draws others to this wonderful film.
