Most helpful review The Way Home

  • Watch this and then call your Grandmother

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    I love this film. It is a simple but powerful portrayal of the generation gap between the simple lives of an older generation and the junk food, computer game, self centred world of many of todays children. A beautifully crafted story about how unconditional love can break through this barrier and lead to a truly loving relationship. The actors are all superb, their is very little dialogue and therefore few subtitles, so little excuse not to watch this masterpiece.

  • life returns

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    the transcendental, invigorating quality of 'the way home' is nothing less than a spiritual and aestheic cleanse and a re-birth into a better world, into a clarity and purity that remains mostly banished from the western cinema, which is too fast and zigzagging. the catharsis is organic. the tears wash away the unnecessary, the energy is restored and calm. life returns.

  • The way home.

    If you don't find this film moving then someone needs to check you for a pulse! Both the old lady and the child are excellent and it is a simple but beautifully told little story. It might, hopefully make some of us look at our own kids and the way we raise them.

  • A revealing relationship

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    This film is quiet, thoughtful and develops a relationship between a boy and his grandmother while carefully debunking all the values of the modern 'must have' society.
