Acasa, My Home is an essential document of a nation ever in flux, and of what individual lives are disrupted and cast aside in the churn of progress.

| Dec 3, 2021

Ciorniciuc and his co-writer Lina Vdovîi, in allowing events to unfold slowly in front of the camera, have created a beautifully measured portrait of an amazingly resonant topic.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 22, 2021

Rică, like Acasă, My Home itself, meditates on how we define a life worth choosing.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 22, 2021

It's a remarkable piece of documentary access.

It's a very empathetic portrait, but it also shows the complexity of this family... I think it's most poignant when it focuses on the children.

Needless to say, the point of Ciorniciuc's immersive, lively, warm and heartbreaking film is not to see the Enaches in the park as total paradise and their stab at urban living as some terrible detour into restrictiveness.

While the meandering sensibility of "Acasa, My Home" makes it a tough sit at times, the spell it casts through its all-access dive into subterranean life brought to the surface forms a compelling addition to one of international cinema's deepest.

| Original Score: B- | Jan 16, 2021

The secret of this beautiful, bittersweet film about a group of people like no other is that, in the end, it's all so shockingly relatable.

Ciorniciuc opens a non-didactic and non-judgmental window for audiences into an alternative world where parents both nurture their babies within the rules of the nature and also deprive them of their vital rights, like safety and education.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 15, 2021

It's both intimate and analytical, a sensitive portrait of real people undergoing enormous change and a meditation on what that change might mean.

The film is at its most moving when it lingers on the face of children who are impotent to return to the world they used to call home.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 12, 2021

Perhaps the ambivalence of Ciorniciuc's dedicated, absorbing yet inconclusive "Acasa, My Home" is just... difficult, moving uncertainty made manifest.

A memorable variation on a timeless theme.

Acasa, My Home ultimately prevails in conveying numerous external and internal changes for the Enaches, its numerous fly-on-the-wall passages able to speak for themselves.
