Great performances by the entire cast, and an especially brave and powerful one from Kristen Wiig. Although this movie may offend, it may also touch you deeply as it craftily explores the lengths some may go to self-medicate through action and behavior. It made me laugh out loud, got me teary eyed and gave me some new insight and empathy into the complex world of mental illness. Funny, shocking and disturbing at times; this film is pure genius.… Expand

"Welcome To Me" é um dos filmes mais incomuns de sempre, porém, este drama/comédia traz consigo uma premissa única e um humor bizarro. A atuação de Kristen Wiig é fantástica.

An incredible ensemble cast spearheaded by the fantastic Kristen Wiig tells the funny and heartbreaking story of Alice Klieg, a woman with borderline personality disorder who wins the lottery and uses the winnings to create a TV show about her life. I was rolling in my seat with laughter at one minute and on the edge of my seat the next. The rollercoaster/trainwreck unfolding before me in this movie was a sight to behold. The script is very strong, and gives a remarkably realistic portrayal of life with Borderline Personality Disorder. In a strange way, this movie is incredibly relevant. One only has to look up Christian Weston Chandler or DarkSydePhil to see what happens when the mentally ill are given exposure and enabled, and the damage they can do to themselves and loved ones as a result. The internet provides a platform that TV never could. In a way, Alice's journey is a mirror of what happens online everyday. This is a quirky, absurd, and at times surreal film, but there is never a dull moment. Alice's show is like something that would be aired on Adult Swim ironically as opposed to Alice's true presentation of events. If you like oddball movies that have an emotional message, please watch Welcome to Me.… Expand

Welcome To Me

The premise is promising and has a potential to reach for something more colossal than it even attempts to, in here which may feel inadequate in the end. Despite of having, such a wider range the writer, narrows its priorities down to something simple and sensible which helps connect easily with the viewers. Eliot Lawrence has done a decent work on writing the script which is engaging for the most of the time and not pretentious or chalky which it could have been easily considering the premise. Shira Piven; the director, is in her A game as she executes the script aptly and offers palpable environment to the tone which it stays true to, throughout the course of it. Kirsten Wiig carries it off all on her shoulder proving once again, her amazing acting skills even though isn't supported to that extent by her supporting cast like James Marsden, Wes Bentley and Linda Cardellini. It is short on technical aspects like sound department and editing. Welcome To Me is more than a welcome to its creativity and the energy that it offers from the first frame till the curtain drops; something that can feed off the audience for its almost 90 minutes.… Expand

I watched this at home - on Hoopla. It sounded like a good premise, and maybe it followed this premise, but not very smoothly. Of course it was about a "borderline personality" mental problem, and that's just how it came out. AfterI watched this at home - on Hoopla.

This is actually a good film that misled by its low rating. But the end should have been really better, other than that the rest of the film was enjoyable. Another small scale movie and another excellent performance by Kristen Wiig. The story of a single woman with the borderline personality disorder. After winning the $80 million through the lottery draw, she decides to own a television show to talk about her personal life. She begins to lose her close ones as the result of her out talk about them, but can she fix it and how is the remaining.

This is a unique story, not like that you see it often in the movies. Apart from Wiig, the rest of the supporting cast was not bad, but very sad to see such a good looking wonderful actress like Linda Cardellin in a small role. If you hate slow pace, this movie might be an average to you, but others who won't mind will find it better. What I surprised to know is that most of the film critics thumb upped for it than the film goers. But I still suggest it, mainly for the film fanatics, just give it a try and so you might like it than what you've heard about it.

I think this movie is for people with a specific taste - if you expect an SNL type comedy with Wiig then this is not for you really, as it actually touches a serious topic with some weird type of comedy. Quite an unusual movie and in the endI think this movie is for people with a specific taste - if you expect an SNL type comedy with Wiig then this is not for you really, as it actually touches a serious topic with some weird type of comedy. Quite an unusual movie and in the end I really did not get what was the message of the movie, what it wanted to tell. That friendship is important? So what is with all the other stuff, with mental ilness etc? Why was that involved? Because the ending did not tell us anything about that and how it changed - did she have less issues after she understood she only thinks about herself? Doubt it. It had its fun moments and it was not a bad movie, but I would have preferred many things to be different there.… Expand
