Jun 16, 2015 Linda Cardellini By Austin Trunick

In Welcome to Me, Kristen Wiig stars as Alice Klieg, a woman with Borderline Personality Disorder who hasn’t turned off her television set in over a decade. Save for her longstanding friendship with childhood bestie Gina (Linda Cardellini) and regular sessions with her psychiatrist (Tim Robbins), Alice lives like a shut-in, choosing to stay home and re-watch taped episodes of Oprah until she’s memorized the transcripts word-for-word. When she wins an $86 million dollar lottery, she uses that windfall to finance her own cable show named “Welcome to Me,” where she broadcasts her personal hang-ups and childhood traumas (complete with studio re-enactments) to a unexpectedly engaged audience.

This new, dark comedy is now available on Blu-Ray and DVD from Alchemy. Below we have a featurette on the film with stars Kristen Wiig, Linda Cardellini, James Marsden, and Wes Bentley, as well as director Shira Piven and screenwriter Eliot Laurence.
