    Storyline

    Edit
    Ruth's house is broken into while she's at work as nurse aide and a patient dies. The police arrives and takes finger prints, photos and notes. As she isn't sure that she locked the doors and there's no sign of forced entry, the police tells her to up her security. But Ruth feels violated. She sleeps at her neighbor Angie's house. The next day she finds out whose dog's been shitting on her front lawn - Tony's. She also finds a shoe print in her garden and becomes a sleuth. She ask neighbors if they've seen anything and she tracks her stolen computer on her phone. She later befriends Tony as he's strong and together they go one a quest to catch the thief. —Scott Filtenborg

    • Trivia
      Macon Blair used the experience of having his apartment broken into and laptop stolen, plus a lack of police follow-up, as some of the inspiration for this story.
    • Goofs
      While the conspicuous placement of the Catan game in Tony's house may at first seem out of place for a loner like him, and therefore an error, it more likely represents his innermost hopes and plans for a life with stronger social connections. He dreams and prepares for a day when he will have enough friends to play the game. Its presence the first time Ruth enters his house is both forlorn and optimistic.

    Well worth checking out
    I Don't Feel at Home in this World Anymore - mouthful of a title masks a nifty little blackly comic thriller about a woman turning to vigilantism after a burglary. Melanie Lynskey is perfect in the main role and is well supported by Elijah Wood and by a quirky cast of side characters. The plot goes in one or two unexpected directions and the film doesn't outstay its welcome. Writer/Director Macon Blair - who starred in the thematically similar but more po-faced Blue Ruin - has made a most enjoyable debut here.
