Cary Darling Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com 05/22/2014
5/5
It's sharply written, and moving without being mawkish, painting a portrait of people that we feel like we know. Go to Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 02/27/2014
This beautifully acted, admirably understated drama never succumbs to mawkishness. Go to Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 11/21/2013
Though the developing bond between the two men - one of whom is virtually nonverbal - is credible and even touching, the storytelling is too oblique to reel you in. Go to Full Review Frank Swietek One Guy's Opinion 05/23/2014
B+
An admirably restrained, respectful portrait of the kinds of Americans contemporary films generally avoid showing at all--or if they do, treat with heavy-handed mawkishness. Go to Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru 11/25/2013

08/29/2018 Such a godly heartfelt movie with everyday struggles which made this movie real. The love between a mother and her family is nice to see as there is so much violence usually in today's movies. See more 04/09/2015 Tiny cast and crew absolutely crushed it. Stellar indie drama. See more 08/03/2014 Great touching Indie film based on the true life experiences of actor Marc Menchaca.... Very heartfelt and well worth seeing!!! See more 03/26/2014 I loved this films ability to tell the story without needing to grind out every detail of this families past. The acting was so right on that we feel the naturalness of the relationships with ease. Performances were all around top notch, but CK McFarland's delivery of the mother sets the tone for the whole movie. Must see for sure. See more 02/14/2014 An unbelievable film. So beautifully done and so understated that I was truly captivated. Great performances all around, and great cinematography, giving us a real sense of small town Texas life. "This Is Where We Live," is an honest portrait of a family whose struggle, although unique, is very relatable. See more Read all reviews
