HOME (2005)
Matt Zoller Seitz makes his feature debut with HOME. On a hot summer night in Brooklyn, singles and couples converge in a brownstone apartment to flirt, fight, hook up and break up. A dreamy comedy-drama about sex, love and freedom, "Home" packs a lot of stories into just two floors.
“Melancholy but never mushy, wry but never cute… Refreshingly adult… A cinematic tone poem which explores the human experience with extraordinary clarity.” - Film Threat
“As dreams are interpreted, hearts are bruised and a loudmouth in a velour tracksuit gets undeservedly lucky, home accumulates a blurry , on-the-fly atmosphere spiked with moments of unexpected sweetness.” The New York Times
“A curious, surprisingly otherworldly multi-character tale set during a Brooklyn party, at which relationships fracture, get forged, and just plain persevere.” - New York Magazine
“Witty, sharply observed, sweet but not treacly, Home captures the way a good party seems to go on for years, each encounter bleeding into the next.” - Philadelphia City Paper
“Intimate, intoxicating… Home preceptively details the niceties and nastiness of friendship, romance, and sexual affairs.” - Slant Magazine
“Authentic and funny dialogue and convincing character sketches.” - Boston Phoenix
“Every time you throw a party, it hits someone… In writer/director and New York Press critic Matt Zoller Seitz’s debut, no one ends up quite what they seem. As the night wears on, all display gentle, vulnerable sides.” - San Jose Metro
