Home Room Reviews
Denver Rocky Mountain News
Erika Gonzalez
Weighted by good intentions, Ryan turns a potentially riveting story of two lost souls shaken by trauma into a sappy teen drama.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Alicia and Deanna's journey toward friendship, or at least a truer understanding, is moving.
Newsday
John Anderson
Overwrought, way too long, and rife with emotional implausibilities, the film comes very close to being an affront to the memory of the victims of these real-life catastrophes, because very little in it comes very close to being real.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
Too often crosses the line between good melodrama and rank clich.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
At 133 minutes, Home Room is sluggishly paced and refuses to lighten up for even a second.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
Though the film is overlong (it runs over two hours), it's never boring - mainly due to a pair of fantastic lead performances.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Overall, it plays like the world's longest -- over two hours -- after-school special.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
With an unconscionably long running time of 2 hours and 11 minutes for what is essentially a two-hander between Philipps and Christensen, Home Room feels like detention -- without the possibility of recess.
Citysearch
Justin Hartung
Its noble intentions are undermined by syrupy, movie-of- the-week direction.
TheMovieChicks.com
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone
A powerful movie that loses some of its momentum by touching on too many stories. It's not always easy to watch, but it's thought provoking.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
Ryan's tough-minded little movie avoids any sort of sentimentality; nothing warm and fuzzy here, just honest emotions from two excellent young actresses.
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
Not only awful but also possessed of the potential for being truly offensive to the victims of the atrocities off which it pings.
Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
In the midst of this didactic, self-conscious movie about a high school shooting comes an extraordinary and intense performance by a young actress named Busy Philipps, which elevates the whole picture.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
Badly acted and, running well over two hours, often mind-numbingly ponderous.
Movie Views
Ryan Cracknell
The relationship that Deanna and Alicia forge is fascinating...as it allows for a genuine search for truth instead of something that is forced or contrived.
L.A. Weekly
Scott Foundas
At times, Home Room threatens to become a Driving Miss Daisy for the Clueless set.
