Reviews for this film from our members:
- David Bax @ Battleship Pretension
- Excerpt: By the end, though, when Alice must begin making amends to the people she wronged during her unchecked and well-funded manic episode, it becomes clear that Welcome to Me isn’t concerned at all with the topic of mental illness it seems to want credit for addressing. Piven flirts early on with the dangerous allure of Alice’s psychotic abandon but we come to understand that the screenplay by Eliot Laurence has employed borderline personality disorder to contrive conflict just so it could contrive its resolution.
- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ Spirituality & Practice
- Excerpt: A frolicsome comedy that gives Kristen Wiig a chance to strut her stuff.
- M Enois Duarte @ High-Def Digest.com
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: This isn’t funny. It’s sad and disheartening and demeaning…
- Candice Frederick @ Reel Talk Online
- Kimberly Gadette @ Doddle
- Excerpt: It’s a crying shame (not a hysterical, mentally unwell crying shame), but a crying shame nevertheless that the movie falls short. Especially given Wiig’s stellar performance.
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: A sort of miracle. A black comedy about a not-well woman saving herself is a savage satire on a not-well world that doesn’t realize anything’s wrong.
- Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
- Excerpt: Welcome to Me undoubtedly marks Wiig’s most offbeat, daring and trickiest role to date as a woman with borderline personality disorder, but the film wants to be a tragic comedy and it doesn’t quite stick the landing.
- [New – 10/1/15] | Jared Mobarak @ The Film Stage
- Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
- Excerpt: You have to respect a film that takes the risk of alienating viewers [but[ the result, while fascinating, is as deeply flawed as its protagonist.
- Betty Jo Tucker @ ReelTalk Movie Reviews
- Excerpt: Kristen Wiig turns in her best performance to date in this timely, creative dramedy.
