ConsequenceCollin BrennanFeb 27, 2017
Feature-length films generally aren’t nimble enough to reflect the current zeitgeist with such uncanny accuracy, but Blair’s neo-noir-comedy-thriller is that rare story that seems to have come along at just the right time. Read full review

The Film StageDan MeccaJan 21, 2017
The film loses form a bit as it lumbers towards its final moments, but the juice is worth the squeeze. All involved here are determined to find the laughter in the pain of dealing with other people. And if there must be blood, so be it. Read full review

IndieWireDavid EhrlichJan 21, 2017
The film never loses its strong sense of character, but those characters deserve a bit more love than they’re afforded. Still, Lynskey and Wood see it through. Read full review

We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoFeb 27, 2017
I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore is a winning combination of anger, frustration and stinging social satire. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesJustin ChangFeb 23, 2017
In the end, it is the wit, warmth and coherence of Lynskey’s performance that lends this violent comic scherzo both its cruelly demented narrative logic and its curiously cheery aftertaste. Read full review

Time OutJoshua RothkopfFeb 2, 2017
The film plays like a Trump-state "Big Lebowski," as Ruth and Tony’s amateur sleuthing teases out a much deeper conviction, perfectly stated by its main character. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterBoyd van HoeijJan 21, 2017
The film, also written by Blair, manages an impressive balancing act in term of its tricky, quicksilver tone, which constantly oscillates between foreboding, menacing, hilarity and absurdity without ever feeling incongruous. Read full review

VarietyPeter DebrugeJan 20, 2017
It’s the perfect role for Lynskey, who’s wise enough to underplay her character, which allows audiences to pour their own fears and frustrations into everything Ruth represents. And what emerges is a stalwart actress’s best work yet, delivered by an exciting new director to watch. Read full review

It escalates past the point of absurdity, but all you can do as an audience member is shake your head and laugh. Read full review

The PlaylistGregory EllwoodJan 20, 2017
What Blair is trying to do is quite ambitious for his first feature. He alternates moments of high comedy with serious tension and a touch of magic realism for kicks. For the most part, the tone works. Read full review

The VergeTasha RobinsonJan 21, 2017
Ultimately, I Don’t Feel at Home in This World feels like an ambitious experiment from a first-time filmmaker trying everything at once. It’s scattershot, but it’s also goofy, creepy, and just wild surprising fun. Read full review

Village VoiceBilge EbiriJan 21, 2017
Lynskey’s shivering rage and Wood’s Zen incompetence play off beautifully against each other, and Blair deftly juggles the suspense, humor and social overtones of his script. Until, that is, the film’s final 30 or 40 minutes, when he settles for genre schlock and the revelatory film we thought we were watching devolves into a less interesting, more familiar one.

ScreenCrushE. Oliver WhitneyJan 21, 2017
Although it’s sometimes uneven with somewhat underdeveloped characters, I Don’t Feel at Home is nonetheless a clever blend of two very different genres. Blair’s mix of humor and feverish violence works best in the film’s final act, when things turn completely nutty. Read full review

Give Blair time. He may have a Green Room-grade corker in him yet. Read full review
