After winning the Grand Jury Prize—the highest honor at last month’s Sundance International Film Festival—and critical acclaim, the comedy-revenge-thriller I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore begins streaming on Netflix today. It is the story of Ruth, a nursing assistant who—quite simply—is tired of people being jerks. When she comes home one day to find that her house has been broken into—with the thieves stealing her laptop, her grandmother’s silver set, and her depression and anxiety medications—and the police are less than helpful, Ruth decides to take matters into her own hands. She enlists the help of Tony—who is actually one of the jerks in her neighborhood—to help her track down the offenders. Unfortunately, they soon find themselves dangerously out of their depth against a pack of desperate criminals
