      Audience Member ***Due to the recent RT changes that have basically ruined my past reviews, I am mostly only giving a rating rather than a full review.*** Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Visually lovely in a Wes Anderson way but the subject matter cannot bear the weight of the duration of the film. 45 minutes would have been more than enough to tell this particular story which becomes more hagiography/music video than documentary at times. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful enough to make someone help me, who grew up in the prairies and hated it, have a new appreciation for them and all things Alberta. Rae Spoon's voice seems to fit the prairies like a glove, capturing its loneliness and yet also its strange sense of comfort. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Worth seeing just for the beautiful music alone. A skillful documentary about a talented, transgendered performer. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Malaika Aleba Autostraddle My Prairie Home is more than pretty skies and poetic wheat fields. It's also about growing up different in a difficult environment and what it means to survive. Jun 14, 2021 Full Review Dan Fienberg HitFix [It] doesn't overstay its welcome and doesn't strain for profundity. It just happens to be a length that was simultaneously easily satisfying and left me yearning for just a bit more. Jan 22, 2014 Full Review Andrew Barker Variety Director Chelsea McMullan captures Canadian trangender folk singer Rae Spoon's music and life story in sensitive detail. Jan 19, 2014 Full Review David Lamble Bay Area Reporter Chelsea McMullan's portrait of transgender singer Rae Spoon provides a poetic tour of Canada's prairie heartland. Jun 10, 2020 Full Review Daniel Walber Nonfics Somewhere between biography and visual album, My Prairie Home fuses McMullan's skill and Spoon's musical style into a singularly beautiful journey through the occasionally unfriendly but often breathtaking air of Alberta. Rated: 4/5 Jun 5, 2014 Full Review Glenn Dunks The Film Experience My Prairie Home is melodic, poetic, and beautifully complicated bliss. An utterly beguiling documentary discovery. Rated: A- Jan 26, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
