Movie Reviews

Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Sheri LindenWith its focus on domestic interiors (and interior lives), the movie doesn't simply recall Akerman's past efforts; it reveals their roots.
Boston Globe - 10/10 by Peter KeoughThe rest of the film consists mostly of Akerman talking with her mother, blithely and lovingly, about everyday ephemera and about the past (Natalia was a survivor of Auschwitz), both via Skype and at her mother’s genteel home in Brussels.
Antagony & Ecstasy - 9/10 by Tim BraytonThe ingredients look so simple and raw as to be trash, but the film made from them is a piercing, precious, and sad depiction of the human craving for family and contact.
Newcity - 9/10 by Ray PrideResistant, resigned. Asking, listening. Not punishing, but pained. Not deadly, but difficult. Not death, but life.
The Film Stage - 9/10 by Ethan VestbyRemoved from anything resembling ostentatious formalism, it fits into what’s typically referred to by cinephiles as a “late master” period, in which the auteur has dropped all pretenses and adapted a full-on laid-back, emotionally direct directorial hand.
Time Out London - 9/10 by Tom HuddlestonThe word "personal" is bandied around a lot in film reviews, but it’s hard to think of a work that better fits the description than avant-garde icon Chantal Akerman’s intimate swansong No Home Movie.
The New York Times - 9/10 by Manohla DargisIf you let it, No Home Movie invites you in first with its intimacy and then its deep feeling.
Slant Magazine - 9/10 by Clayton DillardBy refusing to finitely define Natalia, or reduce her life to a series of biographical details, Akerman elides eulogizing of any sort, dignifying Natalia without personifying her as an idea made flesh.
Metro - 8/10 by Matt PriggeIn its deliberately boring way, it's riveting - cinema that makes the inessential powerfully, devastatingly essential.
Reeling Reviews - 8/10 by Laura Cliffordthose willing to submit to the filmmaker's vision may be surprised that a film consisting of minutes-long takes of barren, arid landscapes, her mother's Brussels apartment and the occasional conversation can have such a powerful emotional build.
