If you like anything that David Lynch has made, especially season 3 of Twin Peaks, then you will be able to tolerate this movie. I say tolerate becuase I notice 2 of the 4 reviews are 0 stars given, the lowest score. Their complaints were mostly pacing issues. This movie is a series of events. Lets says there is 30 individual scenes in this movie, 3 of the scenes will be the same event, broken up over the entire movie. Thats the best way I can describe it. I know I am not telling you about the movie, really, but I cannot. It wouldn't help you decide. if it was any good. You know it's about a family already. That's exactly what it is, a movie about a family over maybe a few days or so. Time doesn't seem to pass by. It's extremely disjointed. You are probably thinking that I am criticizing this movie, but I am not. This brings me back to my original Statement. If you like, or probably really have to LOVE Lynch's work, then you will enjoy this movie. If you hated everything that Lynch has ever done, or think its so-so, then do not bother with this movie, it will just frustrate you, becuase you probably don't have very good patience for slow films that don't really seem to go anywhere.
... View MoreA matriarch of a dysfunctional family is pushed to her tipping point by the disappearance of her son. We Don't Belong Here (2017) pushed me outside my comfortable zone when i saw Anton Yelchin with a blonde wig falling down a window into his own death threw out a dream sequence, the entire family is out of their own mind they either listen to music or treat to others like @ssholes. The pacing is very slow and the entire film drags so much that it's impossible to even care after a certain point. I wanted to like this movie i really did mostly because of Yelchin but the movie was a big disappointment and definitely in the 'Worst of the Year' list. (0/10)
... View MoreMuch Ado about nothing and believe me, I can follow a convoluted plot. This screenplay and the characters are so flatly boring, makes you wonder how it even got off the ground floor.Something definitely got lost in translation between the script and what actually appears on the big screen. Everyone looks as if they are on prozac, no one talks much sense and the audience is left with bunch of puzzle pieces not really worth putting together.The film-makers are presumptuous towards the audience. They assume: 1. We are interested in this boring suburban angst 2. We are interested in following a dialogue leading nowhere 3. We are interested in collecting fragments of nothingness 4. We are interested in a cheap flimsy wrap up aka sailing ship.Ahhh no. It's just not that interesting and way to much effort to follow all these messy metaphors of some very boring characters. Kudos though to the actors who played their robotic emotionless roles so well, I was actually hoping the bad guy would pull the plug. Alas no such luck.Watching this movie reminded me of paint drying. But not paint you want to see dry. Paint that is such a hideous color it actually hurts your eyes to look at in on the wall. THIS is what WE DON'T BELONG HERE is all about. Bleh.
... View Morea film about family and love and illness. and ways to escape from yourself. at the first sight - a film about anything. no story, only a lot of fragments, suggestions, sketches. but enough for discover not a case of dysfunctional family but near everyday reality. a special film for the aura of one of last roles of Anton Yelchin. for the admirable performance of Catherine Keener. for music, atmosphere and for a simple, slow grow up of events and words and feelings like flowers in a ruined garden.portrait of a state of soul, it seems be a song in images.
