Coming Home Again Ratings & Reviews
But Why Tho? A Geek Community
Carolyn Hinds
Throughout the film both Chung and Chon have been captivating as two people doing their best to put on a brave face to encourage each other.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
Neither self-aggrandizing or sugar coating in its presentation of overwhelming grief, Coming Home Again is a painstaking reminder of Wang's supreme talents.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Moving family drama about a young man who discovers the healing power of caregiving.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
As is so often the case, cultural specificity begets a very recognizable universality in this depiction of parents and children, love, death and grief.
Film Threat
Alan Ng
Coming Home Again, along with telling an excellent heart-breaking story of loss, is designed to make you feel and empathize-not just from the story and acting but also from its cinematography.
Willamette Week
Mia Vicino
There are occasional bouts of monotony as we watch Chang-rae cook in silence for minutes at a time. It's intended to be elegiac, since Korean food plays such a crucial role, even if it often comes off a bit stagnant.
IndieWire
Ryan Lattanzio
Chung's understated performance is a fitting center for a movie almost always operating at whisper-level.
Boston Herald
James Verniere
Wayne Wang of Chan Is Missing and Joy Luck Club serves up memorable tale of family, food and grief.
RogerEbert.com
Carlos Aguilar
Coming Home Again doesn't sanctify the image of the mother, but instead aims to truly capture the full-bodied personhood of the woman Lee put on the page.
TheWrap
Steve Pond
An elegant chamber piece that deals with big issues - life, death, family, guilt, grief - in a beautifully austere way, "Coming Home Again" rarely raises its voice, but it cuts deeply.
Easy Reader (California)
Neely Swanson
Some will appreciate the pace as thoughtful; others not so much. It's still worth your while to spend 90 minutes contemplating the complexity of family relationships.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
"Coming Home Again" looks at the impending loss of a loved one through the prism of the immigrant experience.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
It's a tough haul, but this sad testament to caregiving and familial grief - which is based on a moving essay from Chang-Rae Lee - is delectaely told and acted.
Vague Visages
Diana Cheng
A collaboration between a Chinese-American director and a Korean-American writer, 'Coming Home Again' is an exemplar of minimal styling that shows what is essentially human surpasses the boundary of what is ethnic and cultural.
Hammer to Nail
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
It's a profound experience, and by the end of Coming Home Again, we feel at home, ourselves, and transported by the visit.
RogerEbert.com
Robert Daniels
Chung's performance here is incredible.
National Newspaper Publishers Association
Dwight Brown
Based on his own experience, director/writer Wayne Wang creates a very humbling and humanizing story in a low-budget, small-cast movie that is powerful.
The Hollywood Reporter
Deborah Young
Shot in a light-filled San Francisco apartment, it's a far cry from dreary or depressing, but it also doesn't offer any easy way to enter its emotional territory.
Variety
Tomris Laffly
While this is not exactly a premise with mass appeal, Wang's movie is still an unassuming exercise, defiantly in contrast to Hollywood's typically over-sentimental terminal illness fare.
Battleship Pretension
David Bax
For all of its sentimentality, Coming Home Again recognizes that nothing-not tradition, reasoning, or even plain old acceptance-can forestall death or its destructive repercussions.
