Welcome to Me may be about one woman's experience with mental illness and winning the lottery, but the film is also meant to reflect a little bit of us all. It's a deep one - and really, truly unusual.

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.

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
