Reviews
|
San Francisco Chronicle -
Home for the Holidays strikes such a perfect note that it's hard at first to realize what an impressive balancing act it is.
|
|
Chicago Sun-Times -
Foster directs the film with a sure eye for the revealing little natural moment.
|
|
Rolling Stone -
Foster keeps the party hopping, although more dark humor would have helped before she winds it down with sentiment and bromides.
|
|
San Francisco Examiner -
Foster has whipped the actors into the sort of comic frenzy usually reserved for farce, and the ready-for-anything energy serves the material well.
|
|
The New York Times -
Ms. Foster and the screenwriter, W. D. Richter, have given this film some peculiar mood swings, so that it starts out zanily and winds down to a wistful note.
