      Robert Abele Los Angeles Times [A] heartwarming if conventional portrait of four refugee Syrian families navigating new lives in Baltimore. Apr 12, 2018 Full Review Justin Lowe Hollywood Reporter Even with this remarkable degree of access ... the film still lacks a distinct sense of drama. Jan 22, 2018 Full Review Guy Lodge Variety Moves no needles cinematically or politically, but makes a heartening call for open-armed empathy in an America still guarded on that front. Jan 22, 2018 Full Review Phil Guie Film-Forward.com The film constantly jumps from subject to subject, rarely lingering long enough for the scenes to have an impact. Rated: 2/5 Mar 25, 2019 Full Review Amelie Lasker FF2 Media This Is Home's creators, a team of mostly women, have wrought an intimate story of the four families and their new American lives, a story which gives essential attention to the larger implications of the Syrian refugee crisis. Rated: 4.5/5 Aug 26, 2018 Full Review Eve MacSweeney Vogue Shiva, in this quiet, thoughtful film, has given us a gift in laying bare the extremity of their transition. The more she illuminates the nuances, the better we see. Jun 22, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
