Welcome to Me (2014)
A realistic comedic look at mental issues
21 May 2015 - 26 out of 36 users found this review helpful.
I was expecting a roll-on-the-floor comedy. After all, it's Kristin Wiig, and Will Ferrell as a producer.
It starts off funny enough. A woman obsessed with Oprah Winfrey feels screwed over in her past, but wins the lottery and wants to have her own talk show.
But it turns into an analysis of a "mental issue" and the diagnosis that goes along with that.
I think everyone has issues - but when you give these issues names then you marginalize & categorize people that further push people into little boxes.
By the end, I was moved to tears. This movie is so worth watching. But it's not the SNL-type skit you might be expecting.
