Chicago Sun-Times
What happens would not make sense in many households, but in this one, it represents a certain continuity, and confirms deep currents we sensed almost from the first.

Boston Globe
Meier’s soft touch with the offbeat material is surprisingly mature, to the point of maybe being a bit too reserved.

Los Angeles Times
Enjoyable, involving dramedy.

The New York Times
Home is, as with so many family stories, also something of a disaster movie: the walls shudder and crack, and eventually so do the people inside them.

Village Voice
Ursula Meier's confident, appealingly bizarre theatrical debut.

New York Daily News
This is, in its way, a horror movie -- not least because it will burrow into your own brain, as a reminder of all the ways the modern world is making you crazy, too.

Chicago Reader
Walks a fine line between the quotidian and the absurd, but falls short of a satisfying payoff.
