WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Alice (Wiig), a woman who suffers from borderline personality disorder, wins a lottery draw and suddenly finds herself with $86 million.

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Kristen Wiig is at her quirkiest as a woman with mental issues in this comedy-drama that mocks not the mental illness itself, but the odd attitudes it can sadly come with.
