Genre: Crime, Dark Comedy

Macon Blair is the film's director.

Cast: David Yow, Elijah Wood, & Melanie Lynskey

"I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore," a dark comedy which mixes aspects of crime and drama with quirky, strange humour, earned the Grand Jury Prize at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival. Ruth, a sorrowful woman who feels cut disconnected from her own world, is the primary subject of the movie. She joins forces with her eccentric neighbour Tony in search of the criminals when her home is broken into.

This movie stands out because of its distinct tone and style. In his full-length film debut, Macon Blair masterfully combines dark humour with moving social insight. Delivered by Melanie Lynskey delivers a standout performance as Ruth, while Elijah Wood is hilarious as the ninja-obsessed Tony. Despite its award-winning status, the film hasn’t gained widespread recognition, making it a hidden gem worth discovering.

Directors: Aaron Moorhead & Justin Benson

Excellent production design and cinematography create a sense of dread and annoyance. Michael Sheen holds your attention as the cult leader, and Dan Stevens gives an excellent performance as Thomas. "Apostle" is a terrifying and vicious film that deserves more recognition, making it a must-watch hidden gem on Netflix.
