Critic Reviews

  • Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger

    Far from being stereotypes, these are real, complicated people.

  • Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times

    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.

  • Ronnie Scheib, Variety

    [Home] reveals the fragility of hope in survivalist mentalities pre-programmed to expect the worst.

  • Dennis Harvey, Variety

    Uneven but generally effective drama has his teenage protag at a crossroads between street life and the straight-and-narrow.

  • Joshua Land, Village Voice

    Warmhearted but never sentimental or condescending, Home finally proves most affecting as an unsparing glimpse into the psychology of poverty.
