"I Dont Feel At Home In This World Anymore" (2017) #elijahwood #reading #readaloud #movies
“Sometimes I feel I’m under a whirlpool and I can’t breathe”.
Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2017 and released exclusively via Netflix the following month, I watched Macon Blair’s directorial debut purely by happy accident after listening to the film’s co-star Elijah Wood in an entertaining podcast interview on Nerdist.com and I was rather pleased I did as this film is a true gem and highly recommended. Supported by numerous important cameo performances from Gary Anthony Williams as highly strung Police Detective “William Bendix”, Lee Eddy as “Angie” and Michelle Moreno as her young daughter “Jana”, they are joined by a gaggle of further supporting performances from the debut writer and director himself Macon Blair as an awkward “Bar Dude” as well as crucial portrayals from Christine Woods as a hilariously bored housewife “Meredith Rumack”, Robert Longstreet as her aloof husband “Chris Rumack” and their nefarious son “Christian”, played well by Devon Graye. However, ostensibly this charmingly off kilter and awkwardly funny comedic drama is a two hander with two sublime central performances from Melanie Lynskey and Elijah Wood in a film of a simple yet effective premise:
the victim of a burglary seeks both the return of their property and satisfying retribution for the distress caused and in so doing wreaks havoc along the way.
