But the film doesn’t do as much with the premise as I’d like, and it’s let down by a final act that offers solutions that are a bit too predictably neat and tidy. Go to Full Review Martin Unsworth Starburst 2d
4/5
It takes a terrifying look at the nature/nurture of children and the ethics of scientific study; the conclusion makes us as complicit as Papa. One of the most impressive sci-fi films of recent years. Go to Full Review Alisha Mughal In Review Online 5d
At a time when so much art is terrified of open-endedness, takes pains to explain and over-analyze itself, Home Bodies... is a refreshing, renegade, and beautiful being. Go to Full Review Walter Chaw Film Freak Central Aug 11
1/4
Maybe if it were all more awful, Home Bodies would be more compelling–the lack of any convincing stakes also the anchor dragging down the rest of the film. Go to Full Review Katie Hogan FILMHOUNDS Magazine Aug 10
3/5
With commendable performances from real-life siblings Emma Ho and Ian Ho and one of the most impressive set designs to grace the screen in a while, Home Bodies plays like an old-school horror with heavy emphasis on technology and fear of the unknown. Go to Full Review Sara Clements Peliplat Aug 7
The leads anchor it all with natural, lived-in sibling chemistry in a dystopia that gets under your skin through its claustrophobic, airtight control. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
