Oakland as a tantalizing case study. In a city that struggles with rising crime and health care woes, its public school systems aren't exactly equipped to prepare youth for the travails of young adulthood.

Homeroom Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Cody Corrall
To watch Homeroom is to be a fly on the wall at a pivotal moment of social change, where several intersections of activism all come to a head...
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
A fascinating documentary which focuses on the impact of national and international events on a group of ordinary teenagers.
We Live Entertainment
Audrey Fox
Nicks may have been looking for a sweet coming-of-age documentary, but what he found was a crucible.
The Film Experience
Glenn Dunks
Teenage resilience is on fine display, but Homeroom does feel like a strong film hampered by the unfortunate realities of what happened to the world in 2020.
World of Reel
Jordan Ruimy
Feels scattershot, rushed and all over the place.
Vogue
Lisa Wong Macabasco
Each time I've watched Homeroom, I can't help wishing I'd gone to a school more like Oakland High. They're at once typical American teens and remarkable, tenacious youth galvanized by crises at the international, national, and local levels.
Rolling Stone
K. Austin Collins
Homeroom offers a solid, if not consistently incisive, view of young people coming into themselves and their political identities in the midst of a tumultuous, unpredictable year.
New York Times
Teo Bugbee
Like a diploma, it's easy to imagine how the rewards of this carefully observed documentary could accrue with a little time.

Matt Zoller Seitz
Homeroom is most valuable not in its exploration of individual personalities ... but in the way that it captures subtle but culture-wide changes in the way that a poet, photographer, or painter might.
Slant Magazine
Mark Hanson
Despite the film's narrow scope, it's hard to not be impressed by the political and civic engagement of its teen subjects.
AV Club
Carlos Aguilar
A galvanizing portrait of how Americans inching closer to adulthood navigate a reality in perpetual distress, asserting their agency and fighting with the might of their well informed convictions and digital interconnectivity.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Anyone who sees it will derive something from the experience.
Chicago Reader
Josh Flanders
The role of social media for students, like the world at large, moves from a distraction to a means of revolution, uniting youth in the fight for equality and autonomy.
Vox
Alissa Wilkinson
It's a compassionate, powerful, and often very funny look at a generation that will never be the same.
Variety
Lisa Kennedy
With its vibrant if abbreviated portraits and final scenes of burgeoning activism, "Homeroom" suggest that kids may not be alright, but they are very much on the case.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
A film that's really encouraging about the youth of this nation.
National Newspaper Publishers Association
Dwight Brown
Dramatic and uplifting.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
You won't be able to forget this Class of 2020, and we have Nicks to thank for that.
The Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
An often powerful look at an unprecedented school year.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
If the first half of "Homeroom" is held together by a bit too much faux-inspirational stucco, its climactic protest scenes deliver the real deal and then some...
