Leave your thoughts about Homemakers.
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckLacking much in the way of narrative and not quite succeeding as a character study — Irene remains an opaque character throughout, and we learn little of her backstory — Homemakers nonetheless exerts a certain fascination with its spirited atmosphere and often quirky humor. |
| The New York TimesDaniel M. GoldThe movie is thin on true narrative, preferring to study Irene without shedding quite enough light on her background or tracking her development. |
| User ReviewMatthew SLike the film itself, Rachel McKeon delivers a rebellious, goofy and rage fueled performance. It is as if she feels the need to leave her mark on every single bit of space within which she walks. In a drunken moment of clarity our protagonist decides to stand her ground. "This is my mess," she declares. And she is correct. This mess belongs to her and she is fighting to not only belong but to fully own her place in life. Fitting in or conforming is of no importance. It is the establishing of her own unique space and finding others with which to share it are all that matters. Irene's house is a mess, but it is slowing forming into a state of stability whether she fulling understands that is unanswered. Colin Healey's film is a wild mess that celebrates life rather than exploiting it. This is an amazing film. |
