Critic Reviews

New Times (L.A.) Bill Gallo

Thoroughly entertaining Home Movie carries on a grand tradition of American documentary -- seeking out the eccentrics and contrarians among us. Read full review

J. R. Jones

Chris Smith, codirector of the indie sleeper "American Movie," dreamed up this funny one-hour documentary, about five freaky homes and the people who live in them. Read full review

Roger Ebert

The five subjects of Home Movie at least know exactly why they live where they do and as they do, and they do not require our permission or approval. Read full review

Wesley Morris

Suffice it to say that Chris Smith's Home Movie is the most bananas episode of ''Cribs'' ever. The film is Smith's ballad of the wacky homeowner. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

There is something reassuring in seeing free-thinking individuals express their personalities so emphatically yet invitingly in the places they live. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Slight and whimsical. Read full review

Mick LaSalle

There's a lot of bad hair and incoherent, drug-addled remarks, but inside a minute we get the joke, and it isn't much. Read full review

Home Movie is not that average documentary which most of them aren't really known and most of them are positively reviewed, but for all of that, Home Movie kinda stands on that line.
