Shawan L @ShawanLLibang Jan 7 Back home is a subtly ambitious family drama, blending striking visuals with a deliberately fractured narrative. It’s a reflective, well‑performed film that lands in moments at times gripping, at times understated shaping its impact around how willing you are to settle into its calm, introspective mood. See more S R @ScottR 08/17/2024 Much ado about nothing besides family drama? I was frustrated with the selfish characters and motivations. It was well made and Byrne was good, but the others were frustrating. Saw on Pluto. See more Alec B @Alec97 12/14/2023 The film deliberately avoids resolution, and while that's bound to frustrate a lot of people I think it's key to the movie's success. We are meant to experience all these conflicting viewpoints and perspectives not be given cheap life lessons. Also, I'm again reminded what a phenomenally underrated actor Gabriel Byrne is.

This movie tries to be one long metaphor for grief, but falls short of its goal with a monotonous and sometimes exceedingly boring and predictable narrative.

See more 10/23/2017 This movie had a bit of potential but it tended to drag on a bit from time to time. The performances are adequate, even though the story is somewhat hazy. I did enjoy the musical score in this movie, but I am not sure that this movie is good enough to recommend. See more Read all reviews
