Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Two women reach out to each other from opposite sides of the socioeconomic divide in Jeffrey M. Togman's marvelously revealing documentary about the psychology of poverty.
[Home] reveals the fragility of hope in survivalist mentalities pre-programmed to expect the worst.
Uneven but generally effective drama has his teenage protag at a crossroads between street life and the straight-and-narrow.
Warmhearted but never sentimental or condescending, Home finally proves most affecting as an unsparing glimpse into the psychology of poverty.
