Entertainment Reviews:
Kristen Wiig continues to grow as a performer in "Welcome to Me," which makes use of her singular comedic gifts, tempered in this film with a truly weird streak of drama and pathos.

If only Alice Krieg had directed it herself.

DCist
Welcome to Me, which she [Alice] designs and crafts every aspect of the production, provides her exactly what she needs, a medium where she is allowed to indulge in every aspect of herself...

Boulder Weekly
What makes it worth watching is Wiig. The comic actress is fearless...
Los Angeles Times
"Welcome to Me" largely refrains from going in the obvious direction and hits its marks more often than not, hitting them hard either with stinging humor or shrewd observation or both simultaneously.

Moveable Fest
3 stars out of 4 -- Alice Klieg is a carefully and cunningly crafted creation, which exposes an undercurrent of pain and sorrow beneath her often placid, pixilated state.

Rating: 2/4 --
There's not much plot here and very little in the way of character development. Alice is defined by her disorder and the screenplay isn't interested in delving into her life and relationships.

Product Description:
A woman suffering from dissociative personality disorder uses her $80-million lottery windfall to produce a cable-access talk show dedicated to examining her life and relationships. Alice Klieg (Kristen Wiig) is an obsessive Oprah fan who manages her acute mental illness with a strict regimen of medications, a carefully monitored protein diet, and sessions with her perceptive therapist (Tim Robbins). Every day is a struggle for Alice, as evidenced in her failed marriage and her strained relationship with her elderly, perpetually exacerbated parents. Alice is also obsessed with fame, so upon winning $80 million in the state lottery, she goes off her meds, quits therapy, moves into a luxury suite in a Las Vegas casino, and pitches a talk-show idea to a local public-access cable producer (James Marsden), whose company is quickly running out of cash. Titled "Welcome to Me," the program offers Alice a platform to explore past emotional traumas in addition to featuring the occasional cooking segment. Although the show begins to develop a curious cult following, it also begins to isolate Alice from everyone in her life, including her once-loyal best friend (Linda Cardellini). Later, with her personal relationships in shambles, Alice begins steering the focus of "Welcome to Me" in a disturbing and completely unexpected direction, prompting even her most loyal viewers to question their reason for watching. Joan Cusack, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Wes Bentley co-star in a film produced by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay.
