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.
Meier’s soft touch with the offbeat material is surprisingly mature, to the point of maybe being a bit too reserved.
Enjoyable, involving dramedy.
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.
Ursula Meier's confident, appealingly bizarre theatrical debut.
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.
Walks a fine line between the quotidian and the absurd, but falls short of a satisfying payoff.
