United States | rogerebert.com | "For most of its length 'Coming Home' is great filmmaking and great acting (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)" | POS |
United States | The New Yorker | "Hal Ashby directed this intuitive yet amorphous movie, which falls apart when he resorts to melodramatic crosscutting." | NEU |
United States | Variety | "In general an excellent Hal Ashby film which illuminates the conflicting attitudes on the Vietnam debacle from the standpoint of three participants." | POS |
United States | The Washington Post | "Some of the intuitions and sentiments shared by Ashby and the cast result in affecting interludes, but on the whole the material is too diffuse | NEU |
United States | TV Guide | "What does work in 'Coming Home' are the small, human, unguarded moments." | POS |
