The Way Home(집으로...)

The New York Times by Dana Stevens

The story, touching though it is, does not quite have enough emotional resonance or variety of incident to sustain a feature, and even at 85 minutes it feels a bit long. The premise, too, is a little thin.

Chicago Reader by J.R. Jones

The plot of the picture is familiar, but it's realized with such delicacy and affection for the characters that it seems as fresh and warm as its verdant setting.

New York Daily News by Jami Bernard

Life-affirming story of love, kinship and sacrifice.

Wall Street Journal by Joe Morgenstern

Affecting, even touching, provided you can put up with its sclerotic pace.

Portland Oregonian by Kim Morgan

There are many merits to the picture -- it's wonderfully shot and boasts a beautiful performance by Eul-Boom, who acts in gestures of subtle dignity and compassion. But it's questionable how we're to take actor Seung-Ho.

Washington Post by Michael O'Sullivan

Simple without being slight, and profoundly moving without dipping into mawkishness.

Chicago Tribune by Michael Wilmington

Director Lee has a true cinematic knack, but it's also nice to see a movie with its heart so thoroughly, unabashedly on its sleeve.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) by Rick Groen

If you ever doubted the power and scope of silent film, watch The Way Home. The narrative arc is as broad as any chattering feature, the emotional depth is greater than most, and it's all achieved with virtually no dialogue.

Austin Chronicle by Steve Davis

There’s also something to be said for wanting a little bit more.

New York Post by V.A. Musetto

The film is worth watching if only for Kim, who before this had never seen a movie, let alone acted in one.
