I Don’t Feel at Home Anywhere Anymore

About This Movie

I Don’t Feel at Home Anywhere Anymore is this introspective documentary that mixes humor and melancholy in a pretty unique way. Viv Li, the filmmaker, really captures that sense of disconnection, especially when juxtaposed against her family in Beijing. The pacing feels almost reflective, with moments that linger, allowing you to really soak in her feelings of being an outsider. The way she navigates her old life and her new one is both poignant and a bit uncomfortable. It's the practical effects of real life that hit hard, too, like the simple interactions with her family that reveal deeper truths about belonging and identity. It has this rawness that makes it stand out in the realm of personal documentaries.
