We Don't Belong Here 2017


     Nancy Green is the mother of Lily, Maxwell, Elisa and Madeline Green.  Nancy begins to unravel when her son Maxwell goes missing.  The three daughters come together to offer support for Nancy.  Lily is the youngest and she’s in therapy for bipolar disorder.  Elisa is the next oldest daughter and she’s estranged from Nancy.  Madeline is the eldest and she feels like she needs to take care of the family.
     There are times in this film when I didn’t know what was real and what was fantasy.  I didn’t understand what was happening a LOT of times??  There are some instances of time travel thrown into the mix??  At the end, I wasn’t sure what any of this was about??  2* (I didn’t like this movie)

92 min, Drama directed by Peer Pedersen with Catherine Keener, Anton Yelchin, Kaitlyn Dever, Riley Keough, Annie Starke, Molly Shannon, Justin Chatwin, Austin Abrams, Debra Mooney, Maya Rudolph, Cary Elwes.

Note:  Imdb 4.9 out of 10, 29% audience on Rotten Tomatoes, Amazon 2.9* out of 5* with 12 reviews.
Special Note:  Filmed in Westwood, Massachusetts.  This film was released April 4, 2017.  Anton Yelchin passed away June 19, 2016 at the age of 27.  His Jeep Grand Cherokee rolled back and pinned him to a brick pillar outside his home in Studio City, California.  This was a model under a recall notice for transmission errors leading to unintended rolling.  Recall repairs by the dealers had not started yet.  The director Peer Pedersen said he has had the same struggles as Maxwell.
