    A film that takes a steadfastly gentle look at some of life's harshest moments while not overlooking its joys, House of D deserves a chance to find an audience.

    David Duchovny delivers a clearly heartfelt but terminally mawkish and awkward directorial debut in House of D.

    House of D is the kind of movie that particularly makes me cringe, because it has such a shameless desire to please; like Uriah Heep, it bows and scrapes and wipes its sweaty palm on its trouser leg, and also like Uriah Heep, it privately thinks it is superior.

    David duchovney is impressive as a writer/director, but his acting holds this film back.

    A good story, perhaps a very good story, but poorly told, perhaps very poorly told.
