I’m Going Home Ratings & Reviews
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Oliveira, a nonagenarian when he made the film, conveys the hidden rapture of daily life-and the power of images to preserve it.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
A rarity, a film about old age that is neither a celebration or lament of of lost youth, nor an anticipation of impending death, but simply an unsentimental meditation on the ambiguous present, on aimlessness, isolation, and infirmity.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
Elliptical as it is perceptive.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
Stylistically adventurous.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
The kind of quiet masterpiece that fully registers only after you've seen it.
San Francisco Chronicle
Carla Meyer
Subtly powerful.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Watching this gentle, mesmerizing portrait of a man coming to terms with time, you barely realize your mind is being blown.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
The movie is a trove of delights.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
Wonderful performances and beautiful camera work.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Few films seem so wise and knowing about the fact of age and the approach of the end.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
A work of devastating simplicity and poetic tact and grace.
Boston Globe
Damon Smith
De Oliveira gives us a witty, moving, yet unsentimental study of mortality that ranks among the best work of his career.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
In I'm Going Home, de Oliveira, as alive as any filmmaker, captures the way that tragedy can eat away at even those who've long outlived it.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
What a role this is for Piccoli, who plays the hubristic king, the bereaved husband, the grand artist, in tones that range from thunder to whisper.
Los Angeles Times
Manohla Dargis
If it seems like a minor miracle that its septuagenarian star is young enough to be the nonagenarian filmmaker's son, more incredible still are the clear-eyed boldness and quiet irony with which actor and director take on life's urgent questions.
L.A. Weekly
Ella Taylor
Judging from the strength of this superbly enigmatic film, Oliveira himself seems far from ready to go home.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
An old man's film in terms of its subject, star and protagonist, 76-year-old Michel Piccoli, but not in terms of its rigorous style or its austere denial of sentimentality and self-pity.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Piccoli is superb as an aging actor named Gilbert Valence.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
Greets the inevitability of death with remarkable candor and depth.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
Escaping the studio, Piccoli is warmly affecting and so is this adroitly minimalist movie.
