Some will have reservations regarding this movie both in terms of the narration and the scope of what it tries to explain, even though most people who actively choose to see this will already now most of the information presented... Wonderful scenes, really beautiful pictures of Earth. Home delivers some of the most stunning photography of our planet I've ever seen. Really needs to be watched in HD to be be fully appreciated.
One always wonders about those houses built so close to a highway, or train tracks. The noise alone, would drive the inhabitants mad. As this tale begins, the place where it is located seem almost an idyllic place in which to raise a family.

Or later, when the father decide to cross the motorway, carrying a big fridge, with the help of his sons and daughters. They must wait for the night and a lighter traffic to succeed in that perilous mission. A wonderful ending subtly bittersweet makes this a film worth watching. One day, the boy sees trucks on the carriageway, whilst out on his bike. Soon after telling his father, who doesn't believe him, the motorway is resurfaced overnight.
Home is a documentary about Earth, humanity, nature, where we're going and what we've been. Shot in 54 countries with aerial footage it's a combination of all the navel-gazing movies we've seen lately like Planet Earth and Baraka. Like a guilty abusive adult, we're now taking a closer look at ourselves, what we've done to the planet and what we've to ourselves. Their physical forms are still entombed, but their souls are free and together, back in the pristine fields that they loved when the highway was vacant. It is their spiritual forms we are watching, absent of all material possessions, walking together, happy and free forever, back to the existence they recognize and love. The tone is not of triumph over obstacles overcome, but of tragic bliss achieved at a heavy price.

Viard does her best, but the credibility of the picture, as well as that of her character, is undermined somewhat by her frenzied attack against an imaginary octopus. But these changes to the fabric of rural France aren’t the only explanation for either the frosty relationship between father and son or for Michel’s misguided political leanings. Unfortunately, this pleasingly dense, novelistic approach becomes more diluted as the story progresses. Firstly, there’s the awkward handling of the revelations surrounding Mathieu’s death.
In one scene we see a young male about 9 years of age sitting nude in the bathtub with a 25 year old female. We see a full frontal shot of him naked during this scene along with the breasts of the female. During another scene we see a full frontal shot of young Madeleine Budd when she is giving her clothes to her mother. Putting all that aside I found this movie quite interesting. I am a huge fan of watching movie that are sold in their native languages. This is a wonderful movie for the entire family to watch.
‘The Almond and the Seahorse’ Review: Rebel Wilson and Charlotte Gainsbourg in a Stubbornly Lifeless Drama
Schneider, who has often been cast as a mysterious — sometimes even blank-slate — pretty boy, here finds a welcome role that has no use for his beauty. Thomas is either stuck on the farm or in the hospital, two places he doesn’t necessarily want to be, especially during the height of summer. So what we get is a sticky, sometimes mud-smeared Schneider whose usually luscious hair is here transformed into a flat, dirty mop glued onto his sweaty forehead. He’s not quite Charlize-Theron-in-Monster-level unrecognizable, but Schneider’s full-bodied performance really does manage to take center stage here because his appearance has been taken out of the equation. He also has a laid-back kind of chemistry with Exarchopoulos as his sister-in-law, even if a late scene with the duo underneath some olive trees feels like an unexpected swerve into genre complacency that’s somewhat icky in hindsight.
I wanted them to die at every chance they had, and there were some.That would have conveniently shortened this awful movie. If you like this movie I do not want to meet you, thanks. I do not understand why IMDb chops my comments and then says I need to write more. Now I must seem like a rabid maniac who does not know about paragraphs and full stops... This is an interesting film made watchable by the family interactions and how they change in response to oppressive circumstances. The acting is good, even the kid is totally convincing.
Which means good acting and a screenplay from Aschlin Ditta that has some shrewd moments but not an awful lot of cinematic flair. The film is clever, funny and emotionally truthful and the parodies of Grimandi's films are deadly accurate. I hardly finished this film, because I hoped that these two scum will die a painful death. Imaginative cinematography by Antoine Roch and special effects keep you guessing what is real or fantasy or flash forward or metaphor and keeps vengeance from overwhelming the romantic comedy mode. This film reminds the viewer of low budget "Amelie", but without the originality of its model. The premise is that two kids grow up playing a mean-spirited game in which they constantly dare each other to do cruel things to innocent bystanders.
This film's comedy is based entirely on vicious, childish attacks that are not funny at all. Even after the kids grow up, they retain their malicious mean streak and selfish disregard for the entire world outside themselves. Well, maybe you'll find it funny if you're the kind of kid who likes to tear the wings off of flies.
The two younger kids always ran across the bare pavement to cut through a field for school. Marion the smart younger sister is concerned about carbon dioxide poisoning. Judith continues to sunbathe in the front yard and gives the finger to honking truck drivers. Then big trucks arrive to lay down a fresh coating of asphalt, and steel guardrails are installed on each side and down the middle. Workmen wordlessly clear the highway of their hockey sticks, inflatable swimming pool, satellite dish, charcoal grill and so on. On the radio, they hear breathless coverage of the road's grand opening, and eventually the first car speeds past their house.
This is my first review on IMDb ever, but I thought this documentary deserved it. The cinematography of this documentary is amazing, even the images of pollution of the environment that humans have caused look remarkably appealing to the eye. But this documentary is much more than a stream of beautiful images from across the world.
Oh, except that their rather run-down shabby house sits right bang next to a motorway, that carries no traffic, except as the biggest car park imaginable for the family, who also use it as an extension to their property. They need to cross this bitumen desert to reach civilisation; work, shops and school for the kids. The film had its world festival premiere at the Dawn Breakers International Film Festival in 2012.
Meaning ‘little mother,’ Sciamma tells the story of a young girl named Nelly who has recently lost her grandmother, leaving Nelly’s Mother devasted and in mourning. The human greed, its quickly development and the impossibility to sustain life as it is nowadays damages permanently the balance of nature. It is just stunningly breathtaking and it is like that ALL THE TIME in the entire movie!
Then at about the 25 minute point they show some flames from oil wells, and switch away from their massage-parlour narration and soothing soundtrack to a more tense narration with a sinister-sounding soundtrack. It's all so rudimentally transparent it actually makes you laugh. The rest of the movie has some valid points, but is so filled with hyperbole that it's hard to take seriously and sift through the scare tactics to get at the actual facts. But what really gets my genetically unaltered goat, is the sentence at about 23 minutes into the documentary. Even though I knew most of the facts in the movie before I saw it, it was truly an awakening for me. I have just realized that there is a realistic outcome that this system we live in wont last.
