Reviews
Each of the subjects alternates between charming and creepy.
A naturally funny film, Home Movie makes you crave Chris Smith's next movie.
Smith finds amusing juxtapositions that justify his exercise.
“Home Movie” is the film equivalent of a lovingly rendered coffee table book.
a documentary ditty that just barely sustains its 65 minute running time
"Home Movie" is a sweet treasure and something well worth your time.
It feels like very light Errol Morris, focusing on eccentricity but failing, ultimately, to make something bigger out of its scrapbook of oddballs.
Some people march to the beat of a different drum, and if you ever wondered what kind of houses those people live in, this documentary takes a look at 5 alternative housing options.
Smith examines the intimate, unguarded moments of folks who live in unusual homes -- which pop up in nearly every corner of the country.
Mr. Smith makes us look afresh at our own digs and at, as the old saying goes, what makes a house a home.
A pleasant ramble through the sort of idoosyncratic terrain that Errol Morris has often dealt with...it does possess a loose, lackadaisical charm.
A gloriously kooky chronicle of freak-flags flying high... combines Errol Morris’ nonplussed lens with a penchant for damaged oddball subjects that merges the apparent instincts of Paul Thomas Anderson and David Lynch.
