Leave your thoughts about The Way Home.
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerEllen A. KimIt's an uncluttered, resonant gem that relays its universal points without lectures or confrontations. |
| New York Daily NewsJami BernardLife-affirming story of love, kinship and sacrifice. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaCharming is such an overused, film critic-y designation, but The Way Home is that, and more. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullThe simplicity of The Way Home has few equals this side of Aesop |
| Old School ReviewsJohn A. Nesbitmanipulative tear jerking moments are far too familiar |
| Chicago ReaderJ.R. JonesThe 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. |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanSimple without being slight, and profoundly moving without dipping into mawkishness. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonDirector Lee has a true cinematic knack, but it's also nice to see a movie with its heart so thoroughly, unabashedly on its sleeve. |
| Sacramento BeeJoe Baltake[The kid's] selfishness is difficult to watch at times, but if you have patience on the level of Granny's, the payoff is big. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Rick GroenIf 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. |
