Drifting Home Ratings & Reviews
But Why Tho? A Geek Community
Charles Hartford
Drifting Home delivers a strong cast and deep emotional moments, even if it leaves too many questions unanswered and gets a bit drawn out in its final act.
Mashable
Sam Haysom
Weird, surreal, imperfect, and - despite its faults - memorably beautiful.
Common Sense Media
Brian Costello
It has some of the perpetual problems of anime, such as at least one character too many and some overwrought emo melodrama. Fortunately, these limitations don't distract from the story, and they are far outweighed by everything that works about this movie
Decider
Brittany Vincent
It plods on at a snail's pace with sweeping shots of apartments and dilapidated buildings, then dedicates a half hour to establishing relationships between a group of friends that never quite feel like characters worth backing.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Charles Solomon
It lacks a lot of the humor that made Penguin Highway such a charmer. It's an interesting film, but not a great film. I'm interested in seeing what Ishida does next.
Polygon
Kambole Campbell
There's enough liveliness to Drifting Home that two hours in a single location against a minimal background doesn't actually feel like overkill.
ButteredPopcorn
Carson Timar
Drifting Home is yet another forgettable anime outing for Netflix. With a rather boring plot and overall forgettable characters, strong animation and voice acting isn't enough to keep this feature afloat.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
The deep strangeness of "Drifting Home" can take some time to adjust to. But in this quirky and boisterous picture, the surreal predicament is ultimately just an offshoot of these kids' common fears about growing up.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
The conception of Drifting Home is so stunted that its only memorable thing is its untapped potential.
New York Times
Maya Phillips
The pacing lags and the beats are predictable; the film's go-to antic is having children repeatedly topple overboard.
In Review Online
Travis DeShong
While its generic aspects and formal simplicity hinder it from arriving near any sort of greatness, its undeniable heart is a more than capable hook that will keep it firmly in audiences' good graces.
IGN Movies
Kenneth Seward Jr.
It's a product of a decent script and solid voice work, not to mention the excellent animation from Studio Colorido.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
Drifting Home is a fine, imaginative adventure tale, but the film's sturdy and thoughtful emotional core elevates it beyond that.
