It is a really enjoyable script by Macon Blair, perhaps the direction is a little regular but every single performance keep it together. Melanie Lynskey and Elijah Wood are a fantastic power team against the brilliant supporting performancesIt is a really enjoyable script by Macon Blair, perhaps the direction is a little regular but every single performance keep it together. Melanie Lynskey and Elijah Wood are a fantastic power team against the brilliant supporting performances of David Yow and Jane Levy. Macon Blair's directional debut is a way to go for his career.… Expand

The dialogue in I Don't Feel At Home in This World Anymore is terrific.

The writing isThe dialogue in I Don't Feel At Home in This World Anymore is terrific. The main character is stripped down to her basic elements and then forced to challenge herself incrementally until the final dynamic conclusion. The writing is interesting. It's full of surprises small and large. Just a great mixture of honesty, humor, and intensity. It's a great balance without losing sight of it's central theme: courage against a tidal wave. Reviewers may want to dismiss it as the old "I'm not going to take it anymore" concept, but I found it has a lot more to say than that.… Expand

A surefire hit with anyone who's gone through life feeling alone and out of place. The movie focuses less on the depression that normally comes along with this, and instead puts the emphasis on how sometimes we just get fed up with everybodyA surefire hit with anyone who's gone through life feeling alone and out of place. The movie focuses less on the depression that normally comes along with this, and instead puts the emphasis on how sometimes we just get fed up with everybody and anything. In this movie the characters actually decide to take a stand and there are plenty of laughs along the way.

Lynskey and Wood are excellently cast. They work well together and are able to deliver the movie's almost deadpan sense of humor. They are also both so incredibly likable and are fantastic at portraying their character's idiosyncrasies. Essentially they are the perfect oddballs.

The film's shocking and brutal violence is incredibly well done. First time director Macon Blair nails it. The tension definitely makes the movie a thriller, but the violence is right from a horror movie. A difficult combination that Blair nails. Probably due to his work with Jeremy Saulnier (Green Room).

It's just an all around fantastic movie. One that's well-written with excellent characters, deceptively hilarious, and just the right amount of violent. The results are one of Netflix's best exclusives and a stunning introduction to Macon Blair as a director.

"I don't feel at home in this world anymore" is a very long title...but fun movie.
The story was okay, it's basically a series of coincidences and the story escalates more and more, it's fine but it has nothing unique or interesting about it"I don't feel at home in this world anymore" is a very long title...but fun movie.
The story was okay, it's basically a series of coincidences and the story escalates more and more, it's fine but it has nothing unique or interesting about it in my opinion.

The characters were fun, they were weird and akward but entertaining and sometimes relatable.
The chemistry between the two main leads was weird but enjoyable and it does develop a lot.
The villains were nut cases, their motivation was weak but they are entertaining to watch.

I love how violent the movie was, it really took me off guard and it does create some surprising tension in the film and the third act was really enjoyable to watch (with a weird ending).

The two words to describe this film is weird and entertaining, it's a fun film with interesting characters and great tension, even if the story wasn't special, it still an enjoyable watch.… Expand

Its funny, witty, violent, well written and could be the first movie of someone like Tarantino. It has this "Tarantino" kind og feeling to it. Violence is very funny and graphic. A great little film, that I enjoyed very much.
