With 'Welcome To Me,' Kristen Wiig Dons Her Newfound Indie Crown

"Saturday Night Live" alumni tend to form predictable career paths: They star in broad comedies that double as extensions of their work on the series, then attempt to wow us with an off-kilter dramatic performance that confirms they're worth more than sketch-show idiosyncrasies. Some forge their own paths in television (see: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jimmy Fallon), but most linger in the admittedly fruitful shadow of the famous words "live from New York." Kristen Wiig, on the other hand, has been quietly breaking with her "SNL" heritage since exiting the show in 2012, and this year offers a trifecta of films in which the she not only masters dramatic roles -- she is a marvel in them. First up is "Welcome to Me," which opened in select theaters this weekend and expands nationwide on May 8.
