There has been a barrage of trailers for Netflix original content lately, and I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore is one of the most intriguing. The directorial debut of actor Macon Blair (Blue Ruin, Green Room), the film centers on a woman who gets fed up after being robbed and joins with an eccentric acquaintance to track down the thieves.
It all looks like the best kind of weird, with Melanie Lynskey and Elijah Wood appearing to be unconventional (to say the least) protagonists.
I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore also stars David Yow, Jane Levy, Devon Graye, Christine Woods, Robert Longstreet, Lee Eddy and Gary Anthony Williams.
It plays at Sundance this week and will be available on Netflix February 24th.
From the producers of Kelly Reichardt’s “Certain Women” and Jeremy Saulnier’s “Green Room” comes the story of Ruth (Melanie Lynskey), a nursing assistant suffering through a crisis of existential despair. But when her house is burglarized, Ruth discovers a renewed sense of purpose in tracking down the thieves. Accompanied by her obnoxious martial-arts-enthusiast neighbor Tony (Elijah Wood), they soon find themselves dangerously out of their depth against a pack of degenerate criminals.
