Our take

Isabelle Huppert leads a strong cast in this César-nominated film, in which a change in the landscape radically impacts the life of an irregular family in dark and mysterious ways. Shot by Claire Denis’ marvellous cinematographer Agnès Godard, Home offers up a tragicomic parable of domesticity.
