Dorathen Better Late Then Never

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

countfloydlife This film has a few chuckle worthy moments, but I find most of it cringe worthy. Whenever Hollywood decides to portray a mental health issue, it is almost always underplayed or just way over the top. As someone who has had BPD his entire life, I feel this film is a reflection of the second option. There are some elements of Alice's behavior that I can identify with, but certainly not too that extreme a degree. Just because someone has BPD it doesn't mean that they are a total train wreck. Even when we see Alice when she is "medicated", her behavior to me is unrealistic for someone with this condition ALONE. This is only my take based on my own experiences though, and realize that everyone's situation can be completely different from mine. If you want to get a more fact based, serious point of view on BPD, there are several good YouTube videos out there. This is just entertainment, which at the end of the day is really all it's intended to be, from a business point of view. Even on that basis alone though, I still don't find it as entertaining as a film like Lars and the Real Girl.

851222 Greetings from Lithuania."Welcome to Me" (2014) is surely a comedy not for everyone. This is more of a character study movie, which can be funny, but it is not a mainstream comedy. I didn't laugh during this movie, but i saw it, and i kinda gad i did, but i won't have lost anything if i would skip it. Acting was very OK by all involved, but premise of this movie sounded better on paper then in the final product in my opinion. It is a bit of a mixed bag, it tries to be original movie, but it wasn't focused on anything, and that was it weakest spot in my opinion.Overall, "Welcome to Me" is a bit a bizarre experience. Sometimes it's all over the map, it tries to be unique and while plot isn't your usual mainstream comedy, it was OK while it lasted. Unfortunately after finishing this movie i have a feeling i will forget it very soon. It is OK for one viewing if you want to see something a bit different, not that it is very good.

Abby Watts From watching SNL I knew Kristen Wiig had some strange characters in her (Target Lady? what the hell was that) but this one is quite intense. I enjoyed it, but I'm not even sure of what I've seen. It's just strangely mesmerizing. Wiig plays the 'out there' character to the hilt, and somehow, this jalopy of a movie works. It's also kind of fun to see Joan Cusack play an ass. She usually plays saccharin sweet roles. I'll probably have to see this one several times more, but I sense the bittersweet presence that people like this have on the world. Worth watching at least once.BTW, to those people who think SNL hasn't been funny in years, I hear you. I used to think that way, until I started watching it again. It can be very funny, just as long as you have access to fast forward.

eddie_baggins One of the more downright bizarre films you're likely to watch this year, this latest effort from the producing pair of Will Ferrell and Adam Mackay sees one of everyone's favourite female comedy leads Kristin Wiig as an even more demented version of King of Comedy's Rupert Pupkin to indifferent results that makes Welcome to Me a controlled train wreck that you can't help but watch.One of those comedy films where you almost feel too awkward or bad to even laugh, Welcome try's to walk the fine line between comedy and dramatics and when dealing with the anything but funny issue of mental illness (in which Wiig's Alice Klieg certainly suffers from) it's tough for a film to balance all the elements to combine a cohesive whole. While films like the aforementioned King of Comedy certainly did it and little scene films like Observe and Report straddled the line well, Welcome can't seem to bring the goods to the table needed to make both the antics of Alice's hilarious (live TV animal neutering anyone?) or her serious issues something we can care for, despite the best intentioned efforts of the daring and baring Wiig.We all know of Wiig's talents in the comedy field and with last year's Skeleton Twins in particular showcasing Wiig's chops in more serious pictures, it's good to see her once more try something outside the box. Wiig is arguably the films greatest asset and while things come and go on screen in a flurry of random developments, Alice's adventure as a lottery winner and makeshift TV show presenter is a site to behold sometimes for the right reasons and more often for the wrong reasons but its Wiig's commitment to the cause that makes us stick by and watch and while we never really get an understanding for Alice's true identity, Wiig certainly deserves a pat on the back.Without a second of a doubt too weird to connect to many more than a handful of viewers, Welcome to Me is a strange exercise exploring mental illness in the comedic medium that could've quite easily become something special on the back of Wiig's performance but ends up being a disappointingly unengaging journey to the deepest recesses of the bizarreness of the human condition and our ever thirsty want to feel relevant.2 recorded Oprah shows out of 5
