Soul-touching and moving, TWO WAYS HOME compassionately follows Kathy (Tanna Frederick), a woman newly diagnosed with bipolar disorder who is released from prison on good behavior and returns to her country home in Iowa to reconnect with her estranged 12-year-old daughter (Rylie Behr) and her cantankerous elderly grandfather (Tom Bower). Her return home is turbulent and a rough, unwelcome transition in which Kathy must come to terms with her diagnosis and its implications on her identity, while also realizing that her family was happier when she was gone. Conflict with her family intensifies as she struggles to keep her head above water, putting her self-worth and well-being to the ultimate test.

Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter Although Two Ways Home features some powerful performances and affecting moments, it never feels wholly organic. Dec 28, 2020 Full Review Diane Carson KDHX (St. Louis) It's honest in its invitation to consider those involved in and affected by mental illness, knowing the ripple effects reach far and wide. Mar 22, 2021 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue ... too often feels forced, and its lack of subtlety and surprise prevents a deeper emotional resonance. Dec 30, 2020 Full Review Roger Moore Movie Nation A wrong turn here and there notwithstanding (this) makes for a thoughtful, warm journey back to a place a lot of Americans will recognize, even those of us who moved away. Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 25, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
