Cast: Kristen Wiig, James Marsden, Linda Cardellini
What happens when a young woman with Borderline Personality Disorder wins the lottery? In the case of Alice Klieg (Kristen Wiig), she quits her psychiatric meds and buys her own talk show. Inspired by the immortal Oprah, she broadcasts her dirty laundry as both a form of exhibitionism and a platform to share her peculiar views on everything from nutrition to relationships to neutering pets.
“It’s a tricky business playing someone who is mentally ill and perhaps should be confined for observation, especially in a dark comedy. Wiig manages to make Alice funny as hell, endearing, sad and sometimes a little frightening.” – Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
“This is Wiig’s show, and connoisseurs of the comedy craft will flip for her.” – Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
“By turns touching, amusing and genuinely disturbing, it defies expectations and easy categorization, forgoing obvious laughs and cheap emotional payoffs in favor of something much odder and more interesting.” – A.O. Scott, New York Times
