This was a great movie; I appreciate movies that reflect realistic perspectives on human interaction, and Marcia Gay Harden in this movie is alternately PAINFULLY and DELIGHTFULLY accurate in her portrayal of that. All of the actors did a wonderful job; and the script was well-written to allow us to feel sympathy for all at some point, (I'm not a big fan of the idea that life is made up of ONLY villains and victims). The fact that her own daughter is playing opposite her in this particular movie could offer her opportunities to be a adjunct professor, or consultant on "how to work with children on set without damaging them for life..."; LOL! Seriously, this is a "thinking person's" movie; - The test of such a movie for me is that I don't want to multi-task while watching it. Believe me, I used closed captions to catch all the meaning, AND put down the knitting while this one was on.

I can hardly watch Marcia Gay Harden for some reason; it's a personal chemistry thing. That being said, I've never seen her as good as she is in this one. It's a rather complex character study of a woman in transition and a family in trouble. The mother/child relationship is terribly honest, at terms moving and disturbing. This film is ultimately well-acted, well-written, and thought-provoking, and well worth the time. An interesting tidbit: the young actress playing the daughter is Harden's real life daughter.

I had to watch this on two separate occasions to give such a rating- I have a very strong feeling that this is one of those wonderful movies that will change with the perspective of age.I only wish I saw it I was young enough to REALLY relate to the child first. 😊This movie CAN in essence be a mirror on a range of subjects that most people have to deal with in one way or another. The scenery is beautiful and the movie has the perfect (yes I said it) amount of musical poetry (and I’m not normally a big poetry fan) Marcia’s voice ... enough said.

If you have not seen this movie yet, I highly recommend you do! Just for the reason my title suggests! Marcia and her daughter play mother and daughter in the movie Home and do an amazing job! I could not believe that even though Inga (played by Marcia) went through her ordeal by herself! Her husband is to busy with work, which I believe is an excuse so he doesn't have to deal with his wife's illness! As for Eulala - Marcia's real life daughter, she can act! See the movie!

I can only imagine what it would be like to act opposite a parent this Mother and Daughter duo is a wonderful team. Marcia and her daughter did a wonderful job I can't even imagine how they were able to do one particular scene which was hard for me to watch the first time I hope to see the now grown Eulalia on the big screen again maybe perhaps directing her mom this time

I'm a huge fan of Marcia Gay Harden and she never disappoints with her range and ability to bring anything character to life, however this story challenges ones ability to stay focused and interested as it moves at an excruciatingly slow pace. I had to force myself to keep watching and found myself fast forwarding just to see if the story would sooner or later capture my interest but it never did. Her daughter did an amazing job and it wasn't a matter of acting; the story just never got me intrigued or wanting to see what would happen next.

Liked the honest portrayal of the relationship between real life mother and daughter...Marcia Gay Harden and Eulala Scheel. Very sweet, uncomplicated movie.

Marcia Gay Harden brings her character to life with depth and expert acting. Very interesting movie - I recommend it!
