Home from Home – Chronicle of a Vision(Die andere Heimat - Chronik einer Sehnsucht)

The Hollywood Reporter by Boyd van Hoeij

Though in several ways related to the previous Heimat films, this beautifully shot black-and-white feature is accessible even for those unfamiliar with Reitz’s previous work.

Slant Magazine by Clayton Dillard

For all of its evident toil in recreating historically accurate environments and researching the precise conditions in varying regions, it has little force as a work of cinema.

Variety by Jay Weissberg

Reitz maintains his visionary sweep through history, favoring plot over development of characters, except as embodiments of large themes.

The New York Times by Nicolas Rapold

Home From Home is imbued with the villagers’ attachment to the land, but while dutifully capturing the period, the film feels less layered than Mr. Reitz’s past work.

The Guardian by Peter Bradshaw

It is superlatively well performed and well directed with a real narrative grip.

Time Out London by Trevor Johnston

This is a magnificent, career-capping achievement from one of the great storytellers of our era.
