I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore Reviews

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

| Original Score: 6.3/10 | Aug 21, 2020

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.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jul 12, 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.

At a lean 90 minutes, I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore is a quick watch that feels even faster because of Macon Blair's streamlined script.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 7, 2019

A crime-thriller that resonates with the modern state of America.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | May 6, 2019

Every moment of violence comes as a shock and each is effective in twisting the audience's expectations of what will happen next.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 1, 2018

Films that juxtapose violence with comedy are tough sells in many cases, but "I Don't Feel," is a special film that deserves its place in the crime comedy genre.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 10, 2018

I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore is as scrappy as they come, colouring within the lines of the comic thriller, while also gunning for something more intellectually engaging.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 5, 2018

Melanie Lynskey is the best reason to see this black comedy as a put-upon nursing assistant who snaps at the world after her house is burglarized and takes the law into her own hands.

| Feb 2, 2018

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

At the narrative level there is an overlap of clichés... [Full review in Spanish]

Macon Blair's debut feature has certainly made him a name to keep note of, now also behind the camera

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 5, 2017

If not hardly the freshest thing to ever come down the pike, still brightly-paced and winningly pleasurable.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 12, 2017

With quirky characters, a somewhat meandering plot, quick jumps between humor and shocking violence, the Netflix release brings to mind past festival favorites like Joel and Ethan Coen's Blood Simple.

| Aug 10, 2017

The disjointedness that characterizes the earlier parts of the film and makes Ruth's misanthropy seem so grounded and relatable shifts into more banal and predictable material by the end.

| Apr 27, 2017

The film is bearable thanks to the touch that softens the violence, comedy that oscillates between the absurd and dark humor. [Full review in Spanish]

| Apr 12, 2017

[Balances] the tension of a Cormac McCarthy thriller with the wacky edge of Will Ferrell's wildest comedies

| Apr 11, 2017

Independent cinema of great quality and renewed originality. [Full review in Spanish]

...the escalating nature of I don't feel at home in this world anymore.'s storyline paves the way for an impressively engrossing third act...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 18, 2017

The movie works primarily because of the warmth and humanity that Lynskey and Wood bring to their characters.
