Hi.

Welcome to my site! My name is Andrea Thompson, and I’m a writer, editor, and film critic who is a member of the Chicago Indie Critics and also the founder and director of the Film Girl Film Festival, which you can find more info about at filmgirlfilm.com! I have no intention of becoming any less obsessed with cinema, comics, or nerdom in general.

Ruth (Melanie Lynskey) is a nursing assistant having a bad day in the depressingly hilarious Netflix offering I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore. We have little trouble sympathizing with her, since she clearly just wants people to be decent to each other. But that’s a hard sell at the best of times, and it seems even harder in a time when people can build careers out of being jerks.
