Critic Reviews for Mobile Homes

All Critics (22) | Top Critics (7) | Fresh (13) | Rotten (9)

Under [de Fontenay's] microscope, [the characters] don't feel like real people lost so much as white American trash test subjects.

If only Vladimir de Fontenay's film could match the sheer expressive power of its actress.

Bilge Ebiri
New York Times
But while the story's a little shaky, Poots is outstanding; and de Fontenay has a terrific eye for the details of a drifter's life.

Noel Murray
Los Angeles Times
There is so much on the line, so many dire circumstances that the characters' peril grips your attention. Keeping viewers on the edge of their seats, from beginning to end, is the mark of a well-crafted and executed film.

Dwight Brown
National Newspaper Publishers Association
Driving a van and living in motels, these are low-level grifters whose pathetic American Dream is to become trailer trash. Their roads lead to nowhere. So too does this rootless, desolation-adoring film.

April 20, 2018 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Brad Wheeler
Globe and Mail
A squalid and deeply condescending portrait of what this outsider imagines lower-class Americana to be.

Peter Debruge
Variety
Boasts interesting cinematography, an elegiac score but unfortunately, despite the flashes of interest, the film is more interested in misery than solid drama.

Richard Crouse
Richard Crouse
An interesting take on a family drama, Mobile Homes shows great promise but ultimately undoes itself by failing to answer the important questions it so often poses.

Andrew Murray
The Upcoming
Mobile Homes is a lower budget drama that may look like nothing but as one watches it, it hits strong, it hits hard, and it leaves an emotional mark.

Emilie Black
Cinema Crazed
French director De Fontenay shines a light on the snakes-and-ladders reality of the American Dream for someone who's fallen through the cracks but still clings to the idea of new beginnings. Imogen Poots is excellent as the self-sabotaging young mum.

Caution Spoilers
Give de Fontenay credit for taking the film road less traveled in a film world that tends to lean toward the safe path.

November 15, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Rick Bentley
Tribune News Service
[writer/director Valdimir] de Fontenay's Mobile Homes is a deeply profound story whose characters offer no real answers and are given no true conclusions.
