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.

I honestly don't care for the broader critique of what this film is trying to tell us about modern day America and so on. Its just a really great and entertaining film; a dark and unpredictable farce that made me shudder and laugh out loud.

Funny, gruesome, nicely paced. A little bit silly towards the end, but nevertheless just about stayed on board and enjoyed the film for what it was.

This really just is the bumbling adventure of someone who has just taken it from the world one too many times. I loved following the comical antics and sometimes predictable plot. It's funny. It's entertaining and it keeps you on the hook.

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.

The Daily Beast

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.

JumpCut Online

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.
