This was one of the worst movies I have seen. I felt the movie was a waste of time.The comedy in this movie is EXTREMELY deadpan, not an actual comedy movie, but rather someone who poured in money to get a movie up just like Alice did by buying her own tv show. Waste of time and leaves you feeling very crappy at the end of the movie. I suppose people who can relate to this situation IRL will appreciate the movie due to relatibility but for anyone else trying to enjoy a comedy movie, this is a horrible HORRIBLE movie. Not your typical funny movie to leave you with a light heart feeling great at the end. I regret every second I spent watching this movie thinking it would get better because Kristin Wiig was in it. Nope, it didnt. I think I lost interest in watching any of her movies moving forward.

Truly bizarre. I feel like 2 precious hours of my life have been held down and molested. This movie is reminiscent of a low budget one woman show that no one even wants free tickets to. I even dusted off this account just so I could complain about how bad it was. Now if you'll excuse me, I am in desperate need of a shower to cleanse myself of this rubbish.

Welcome to Me stars Kristen Wiig as Alice, a woman who suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). When she won a lottery that grants her a sizable amount of money, she produces, acts, and stars in a TV series entitled: Welcome to Me.First and foremost, this is the most endearing thing Kristen Wiig has done, outside her usual comedy movies. The way she portrays Alice is so heartbreaking and detailed, sometimes funny, but also feels authentic. The supporting cast did a good job too, especially Linda Cardellini.However, this movie is definitely not for everyone. As the title and the premise suggests, this movie is going to be all about Alice and her world. Alice's actions are questionable and maybe some audience can't digest that properly.If you're interested in movies about psychology issues, then this is definitely a movie for you. Otherwise if you want to feel good, you might want to pick up something else, as the constant melancholy and confusion this movie brought will disillusion you, forcing you into saying "What the hell was that?" when the credits roll.

I'm adding a review as I think this film is sorely underrated. I've also seen others stating that the screenplay was confusing or lacked direction. I liked that the screenplay didn't insult the audience by preaching to us or telling us what to think. Instead, the story shows us everything we need to know about Alice and we're left to draw our own conclusions without the film adding its own judgement.As a BPD sufferer, Alice fears abandonment, is an emotional open-wound, sexually and financially impulsive without ever thinking through the consequences of her actions and incapable of empathy for other people or even seeing them as people. She over-shares, she tramples their boundaries and she struggles with her own identity.This is a clever, well balanced movie in that I laughed all the way through while still feeling bad for just how sad her situation was and at no point did I feel the movie was being unkind or mocking. The characters were well drawn and sympathetic, the performances (in particular Wiig) were excellent. The ending is also very cleverly handled, being ambiguously self serving and redemptive. I loved it.
