Synopsis

Anna cares for her aging parents in a fragile balance of meeting one another's needs. When a Florida heat wave shatters their family and Anna's routine, her future is uncertain until she creates a world where she can thrive.
Moviegoers are saying
Sundance audiences split over Liz Sargent's debut feature, which casts her real-life sister Anna Sargent as a 38-year-old Korean adoptee with a cognitive disability navigating a shrinking family circle in Orlando. Reviewers who were moved by Anna's charisma and the film's tender portrait of caregiving called it 'the best kind of destroyed,' while critics found the clunky staging and a risky late-film shift hard to forgive. Nearly everyone agrees Anna Sargent is the reason to watch.

    For much of Liz Sargent’s “Take Me Home,” a modest, immersive story about marginalization and grief, one is captivated by its quiet approach.  At the outset, for instance, when Anna, a 38-year-old Korean adoptee with a cognitive disability, is taking a shower with her…

    I really loved Take Me Home. While the story is certainly emotional, what won me over was Anna Sargent, whose wonderful charisma and natural screen presence made simply spending time with her a pleasure. Watching the director's interview afterward made me appreciate the…

The film is at its best in moments of warmth, humor, and kindness—that is where it really shines, without needing to amp up the stakes or shift forms.

This is not an autobiography. Take Me Home is instead a deeply felt examination of the challenges so many face when familial love is swamped by economic reality. The director puts a lot on her characters’ shoulders to illustrate how unsupported and isolated illness and disability can be.

There isn’t a predictable or hackneyed exchange in the drama, which understands not just the immense challenges its characters face but also the throwaway humor that can be essential to a family’s connective tissue.
