The friendship between Noah and August has an effect on the people around them.

It's sharply written, and moving without being mawkish, painting a portrait of people that we feel like we know.

Rated: 5/5

This beautifully acted, admirably understated drama never succumbs to mawkishness.

New York Times

Though the developing bond between the two men - one of whom is virtually nonverbal - is credible and even touching, the storytelling is too oblique to reel you in.

One Guy's Opinion

An admirably restrained, respectful portrait of the kinds of Americans contemporary films generally avoid showing at all--or if they do, treat with heavy-handed mawkishness.

Rated: B+

THIS IS WHERE WE LVIE feels like a specimen of untempered life. Nothing rings false in this unassuming film.

Such a godly heartfelt movie with everyday struggles which made this movie real. The love between a mother and her family is nice to see as there is so much violence usually in today's movies.

I loved this films ability to tell the story without needing to grind out every detail of this families past. The acting was so right on that we feel the naturalness of the relationships with ease. Performances were all around top notch, but CK McFarland's delivery of the mother sets the tone for the whole movie. Must see for sure.

An unbelievable film. So beautifully done and so understated that I was truly captivated. Great performances all around, and great cinematography, giving us a real sense of small town Texas life. "This Is Where We Live," is an honest portrait of a family whose struggle, although unique, is very relatable.
