- 90Los Angeles TimesInkoo KangLos Angeles TimesInkoo KangThe great achievement in writer-director Jono Oliver's poignant, superb debut, Home, lies in the balance between the film's empathy for those like Jack who seek independence and its compassion for others who may need care indefinitely.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckAlthough a bit too leisurely and featuring a few too many interminable group therapy scenes, the film nonetheless succeeds in packing considerable dramatic impact thanks to its incisive characterizations, realistic dialogue and well-drawn milieu.
- 60The New York TimesMiriam BaleThe New York TimesMiriam BaleA jarring realism comes both from Mr. Oliver’s script and the performances by an ensemble of brilliant character actors.
- 50Village VoiceChris PackhamVillage VoiceChris PackhamAkinnagbe's embodiment of Jack is the most wholly realized accomplishment in the film. His speech, hesitant and stammering, is matched by defensive body language, his walk and posture as guarded and wary as a bird's. It's a truly physical performance in a film that didn't demand it.
