Peer Pedersen’s directorial debut, We Don’t Belong Here, tells the story of a conflicted mother searching for her troubled gay son.
Anton Yelchin, who died unexpectedly in a car accident nearly one year ago, plays the PTSD-afflicted son, Max, of Nancy Green, played by Catherine Keener.
Keener’s character doesn’t accept that her son is gay, and admonishes the way he self-medicates with drugs. She’s forced to reckon with their strained relationship after Max goes missing, and deeply-kept family secrets begin to surface.
Yelchin is best known for playing Pavel Chekov in three Star Trek films.

Well, not to be contrary, but the trailer makes the movie seem a dreadful, self-pitying bore.

I’m sure it’s beautifully acted and shot but, another self-absorbed movie about a rich white family that is so troubled and we are supposed to be moved by it and feel sorry for them
? No Thank You.

Anton Yelchin was a doll. I loved him in Alpha Dogs, my favorite movie. And he was genius with Eva Amurri in Middle of Nowhere. What a bizarre death, so unexpected, so unfair. Crushed to death. I still can’t wrap my head around how he died. RIP. One of the good ones.

I cried when Anton died, and I barely knew of him but from his Star Trek preformance. To this day I cannot flesh out such a strong reaction to someone I didn’t know. But he does have angelic qualities about him and its always a loss to all when an angel dies.
This movie clip doesn’t really show him as a lead of a coming out film but more about a psycho chick, but then didn’t watch it all due to that fact. Really miss Anton. Strange.
