Welcome to Me
One of the standout releases at the Toronto International Film Festival last September was Shira Piven’s film, Welcome to Me. Starring Kristen Wiig, James Marsden, Linda Cardellini and Wes Bentley – the comedy film finally hits select theaters nationwide and provides for another gem featuring the former SNL star. The new release centers on Alice Klieg, mentally unbalanced lady who wins the Mega-Millions lottery.
Now with a larger than life bank account, her borderline personality disorder is showcased when she decides to air her own cable access talk show with removing psychiatric meds from her everyday lifestyle. Alice’s ego hits an all-time high, with friends and family being pushed aside to display her obsession for fame along with a slew of topics that may seem taboo to discuss on air. Whether or not this project reaches it hands to the masses remains to be seen, our buddy Wiig adds another quality release to her filmography with this impressive affair above.
