Three Jamaicans make their way in an unfamiliar land after they are deported.

Bruce DeMara

Toronto Star

All three actors acquit themselves well, particularly Bent as Dunston, a soulful man trying to leave his violent past behind.

Rated: 3/4

Globe and Mail

Rather improbably, two of the three are handed happy endings so the requirements of drama do belatedly trump political lessons in Home Again.

Rated: 2/4

Unfortunately, Sudz Sutherland's film ultimately fails in giving us a well-rounded and emotionally backed character story, but does a good job in introducing a topic that hasn't been given a lot of attention.

Rated: 2.5/5

This movie touches upon issues that are very common yet rarely spoken about! Home again is movie keeps you on the edge! Great writing, great acting and Lyriq is gorgeous. This movie helps you understand that there are different levels and emotions that these people go through! Finding your roots is hard enough- Can you imagine how mind blowing it is when you are forced to go back to a place that you don't know and start all over again?! Great story line!

Really strong performances from all of the cast, especially Lyiq Bent. The storyline was interesting, relevant to the current migration crisis and a fascinating portrayal of the Caribbean, a place that is too oft overlooked as a vacation destination/crime hotspot, at the expense of the stories and experiences of the people.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Utterly perplexed by this movie about Jamaican deportees who are sent to a land where half the actors do not have Jamaican accents and where soca music is played at a dancehall party. Totally missed the mark with the setting and this obscures whatever story they were trying to tell. I can't find a garbage can big enough to place this movie. If I owned this on DVD it would be a coaster. If I owned this on VHS this would be a paper weight. If I owned this on laserdisc I'd used it as a reflector in my backyard to attract pigeons. Nonsense and a waste of my life watching this.
