Leave your thoughts about Jack Goes Home.
| The Hollywood NewsKat Hughes[It's] an original and intriguing film that offers a unique perspective on the idea of self, the movie presenting an odd mid-life crisis at twenty-something. |
| New York TimesAndy WebsterThe script, by Mr. Dekker, spirals into a muddle of ambiguity, leaving only the imagery and the performances to save the movie. And try as they might, they cannot. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakI don’t think anyone outside of Dekker himself can truly unpack the type of psychological chaos occurring within Jack Goes Home, and I like that notion. This is an artist using his medium as an outlet to exorcise demons without necessarily factoring in audience expectations. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd Jorgenson... loses coherence about halfway through and falls apart with a series of clumsy revelations. |
| We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoJack Goes Home is a swirling storm of emotional ravaging that’s eventually personified by action, but it never comes together as wicked, cohesive storytelling. Give this one a watch, but just know the risks going in. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayWhile the movie’s artfully made and daringly disturbing, Dekker ultimately overestimates how many sick twists one motion picture needs. |
| Bloody DisgustingTrace ThurmanThere is no subtext in Jack Goes Home. It's just text. Nothing is left to the imagination. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeA muddled psychological horror film about a young man coping with the death of his father, Jack Goes Home is a puzzle few viewers will care to piece together. |
| Slant MagazineKeith WatsonThe film veers almost at random from ghost story to family drama to erotic thriller to black comedy. |
| The PlaylistAndrew CrumpTrimming the film’s manipulations and inessential qualities would only improve it, but judicious editing would leave very little meat on its bones. |
