"Home Again is a nice, small-town coming of age story featuring great performances from Chalamet, Phoenix, Fanning and the underutilized Scott Glenn." - Dave Cone, New York Post
"While closer to The Glass Castle than the phenomenal Short Term 12 in terms of theme and quality, this is at least a step in the right direction for the career of director Destin Daniel Cretton." - Stephen Ridley, Boston Globe
"This could have been an intriguing tale of a fractured family dealing with the death of the patriarch, but it becomes a bit too maudlin and melodramatic, culminating with an ending that is far too convenient, pleasant and, frankly, undramatic." - Desmond Rogers, TIME Magazine
