Critics Consensus

Homestead is a well-intentioned post-apocalyptic fable whose narrative ambitions can't overcome its ham-handed moralizing, undercooked story, and subpar execution.

3/5

A gripping and well-crafted thriller. For fans of post-apocalyptic dramas with ethical dilemmas at their core, Homestead provides enough intrigue to justify a watch—and perhaps a reason to tune in for what comes next.

I couldn’t help but feel like I was being scammed. Just when I was finally enjoying the film, I was given every reason not to.

It's very well made... and it really touches on some interesting issues.

It’s all pretty slight, but it is very refreshing to see libertarian ideals rendered into what is otherwise really rather soapy.

The film does work its way around in the end, but feels rote.

This picture was finely crafted and quite beautifully executed it was clear and concise with the message that was being delivered by both telling a good story and putting forth a good narrative I really enjoyed it.

I guess a good representation of what folks what it would be like but honestly it it just made me an average citizen feel like well. clearly only the wealthy are going to survive this to survive anything. I pray that Jesus comes before anything like that happens. If not, I'm going to fight for souls and fight for Freedom ✝️💗🇺🇸
