      Audience Member There is a decent film buried in here, but I think it is sabotaged by some poor performances and in the end it falls into the trap of an ending that is in complete contradiction to the American sentimentality and self-absorption it professes to disavow. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member What a mess. Resnais must have been drunk when he made this. A satire about American-French relations with a bizarre cast. Adolph Green gives one of the most obnoxious performances ever as an American cartoonist who goes to Paris to visit his estranged daughter. Depardieu can't speak proper English. The film culminates in a Rules of the Game-ish costume party. It ends up as pretty much a live action cartoon. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Fernando F. Croce Slant Magazine I Want to Go Home has a splenetic oddball quality at odds with the evanescent tendencies of Alain Resnais' later films. Rated: 2/4 Feb 20, 2008 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Resnais and Feiffer make for an odd pairing, as their satire falls almost flat on its face because it lacks wit, charm and sensibility. Rated: C+ Feb 28, 2011 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid The film never ceases to be obnoxious. Mar 6, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews
