Overview
Known for her penchant for unusual fare, superlative French actress Isabelle Huppert turns in another fine performance in this surreal French drama from director Ursula Meier. Huppert co-stars with Olivier Gourmet (best known for his work with the Dardenne Brothers) as a husband and wife living with their three children in an isolated house next to an abandoned highway. When the road is suddenly reopened, the family's home life is disrupted in increasingly disturbing ways.

Movie Reviews
Reviews:
"In her assured big-screen feature debut, director Ursula Meier offers a provocative parable about individuals at war with development and the global economy." - 12/04/2009 Hollywood Reporter
3.5 stars out of 4 -- "[T]he movie grows more and more dark. It's the skill of Ursula Meier, the director and co-writer, to bring us to those fraught passages by rational stages." - 04/14/2010 Chicago Sun-Times
"MEIER tells the story in small, intimate domestic details that make the HOME of the title feel like a lived-in place....A 'reverse' road movie, a family melodrama, science fiction: HOME is blissfully unclassifiable." -- Grade: A- - 07/28/2010 A.V. Club
