Aug 24, 2021 Full Review K. Austin Collins Rolling Stone Homeroom offers a solid, if not consistently incisive, view of young people coming into themselves and their political identities in the midst of a tumultuous, unpredictable year. Aug 16, 2021 Full Review Teo Bugbee New York Times Like a diploma, it's easy to imagine how the rewards of this carefully observed documentary could accrue with a little time. Aug 12, 2021 Full Review Amy Smith InSession Film Whilst I do wish the film could pick up the pace a bit and have some more focus at the start, it is hard not to be won over by the end of it.
