    • 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.
