Josh Kupecki Austin Chronicle 01/04/2018
It's a film that so confidently walks the shuriken edge of laugh-out-loud funny and cringe-inducing violence. Go to Full Review Oleg Ivanov Slant Magazine 03/05/2017
1.5/4
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. Go to Full Review Nick Schager The Daily Beast 03/02/2017
Lynskey delivers a charming, captivating turn that roots the proceedings in everyday feelings of powerlessness, hopelessness, frustration and fury. Go to Full Review Piers Marchant Arkansas Democrat-Gazette 08/21/2020

Consistently funny, the film actually works best when it plays more or less straight. Go to Full Review Fiona Underhill JumpCut Online 07/12/2020
8/10
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. Go to Full Review Dan Scully Cinema76 04/15/2020
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jackson M @Nshvlleindie Jul 6 There’s a respectable message, and Melanie Lynskey really is the perfect every-woman to relate to, but the story lacks a good enough climax. The idea and relationships are a bit too simple to evoke a strong reaction. See more Lauren C Mar 10 Extremely violent but so damn clever, quirky, & laugh out loud funny. Loved this film! See more Kevin P Jan 25 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. See more 09/09/2024 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. See more Dr. Jeff S 06/18/2024 A surprisingly well-put-together crimi-comedy, with a thin existential overlay. See more Alec C 03/13/2024 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! See more Read all reviews
