    What a refreshing film. Tragic but funny, liberating but captivating with 5-star performances from Tea Leoni and Robin Williams, while David Duchovny's direction makes it shine.

    Look I can enjoy a film that has a heart. However there is a difference between having a film with a heart and a film that pretends to have a heart. The best example of that is House of D David Duchovny 's directorial debut. The movie has all the typical trappings of coming of ag...( read more)es story. Drug addicted mother, mentally retarded friend and one black charecter to help the white kid with love and to make the film look as though it's diverse. Anton Yelchin does his best he can with what he has and Duchovny does put love into it but it doesn't make up for the fact that all the tricks are pulled to make us feel sorry for the charecters over just trusting the actors and the screenplay resulting in a movie that lacks the nessacary human touch.

    A film that was directed and stars David Duchovny. Also has Robin Williams, Tea Leoni and Erykah Badu in this. About a man who travels back to his old home when he was a child to reconnect whith old friends and to close a chapter from his past. A alright story with some interesti...( read more)ng characters. The film had a odd flow to it at times. Plus I expected something much better from Duchovny and Williams. Worth maybe a one time watch if your fans of these actors.

    Una bonita historia, muy bien contada claramente tiene dos partes y mi favorita es la primera, aunque la segunda no esta nada mal, de vez en cuando se vale soñar.

    Considering David Duchovny directed it among other roles, I wasn't sure what I should expect. But it was really good.

Critic Reviews


April 29, 2005
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

As soon as Williams enters, simpering, this is a character that we wish would die a horrid death, or at least disappear. That's a problem Duchovny can't overcome. full review

April 28, 2005
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

House of D is the kind of movie that particularly makes me cringe, because it has such a shameless desire to please. full review

April 15, 2005
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

The film looks and feels authentic, but Duchovny has powered his undeniably personal journey with a counterfeit heart. full review

April 14, 2005
Claudia Puig, USA Today

The movie is Exhibit A of what can happen when an actor is allowed to pursue a vanity project without outside intervention. full review

April 14, 2005
A.O. Scott, The New York Times

The reasons to avoid House of D, David Duchovny's earnest, unwatchable coming-of-age drama, can best be summarized in a simple declarative sentence. Robin Williams plays a retarded janitor. full review
