The Road Home Ratings & Reviews
HashemPearl
February 28, 2025
6/10 , wasn’t too good in my opinion but it was more of a sad story instead of love.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
A layered, delicately but surely romantic tribute to the simplicity and grace of a bygone era.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
Of course, the past always looks better in retrospect, especially to those who have never done without indoor plumbing.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Zhang Yimou focuses so frequently on Ziyi's face in extreme close-up that she sticks like a daguerreotype to your retina -- and then your heart.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Celebrates a beauty and heroism around us that we often miss in both our movies and our lives.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
A gentle, engaging narrative of constancy and devotion against all odds.
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
Zhang brings to it his masterly gift for visual composition.
USA Today
Mike Clark
Zhang Ziyi proves in her film debut what a powerhouse force she is on-screen.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
The film is also a showcase for Zhang Ziyi, who is never less than enchanting.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
About love acutely desired in youth and fiercely remembered in old age delicately simple and emotionally satisfying.
Houston Chronicle
Eric Harrison
The film is laced with gentle humor, and its simple story is built on a sure foundation of humaneness.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
This is a film that rescues love from the world of clich and treats it with the awakening passion it deserves.
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
As luminous as the star presence at its center.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Desmond Ryan
Has deep rewards for those who surrender to its lulling rhythm.
San Jose Mercury News
Bruce Newman
The Road Home yields its pleasures slowly, opening in wintry black and white before ripening into a miracle.
Journal News (Westchester, NY)
Christy Lemire
It works. It feels like a slice of life.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
A moving love story that is as simple in its narrative gestures as it is rich in color composition.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
A beautifully simple romantic fable set in 1958 China in which the lovers are never seen touching, much less kissing -- yet it can move you to tears.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Ms. Zhang's intensely concentrated performance conveys a current of stubborn, obsessive passion lurking behind Di's girlish wide-eyed innocence.
Citysearch
Bilge Ebiri
Even the director's most ardent admirers won't be ready for the soapy goo he delivers here.
