I DON'T FEEL AT HOME IN THIS WORLD ANYMORE Trailer: Melanie Lynskey and Elijah Wood Hunt Thieves
What would you get if you combined the acting talents of Melanie Lynskey (Togetherness) and Elijah Wood with the cinematography skills of the guy who shot Swiss Army Man? You'd get the strangely named I don't feel at home in this world anymore., a new film that marks the writing and directing debut of Blue Ruin and Green Room actor Macon Blair. Lynskey plays a woman who gets robbed and decides to hunt down the thieves with the help of her goofy, martial arts-obsessed neighbor (Wood). Of course, things don't quite pan out the way they imagine.
This movie made its debut at the Sundance Film Festival last night, but Netflix has already picked it up, so we'll all be able to see it when it arrives on the streaming service on February 24, 2017.
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.
Written and directed by Macon Blair ("Blue Ruin," "Green Room,") in his directorial debut, with a distinctive look courtesy of cinematographer Larkin Seiple ("Swiss Army Man," "Cop Car"), the film also stars David Yow, Jane Levy, Devon Graye, Christine Woods, Robert Longstreet, Lee Eddy and Gary Anthony Williams. The film was produced by XYZ Films and filmscience.
