Piccoli gives one of the most nuanced performances of his distinguished career, but the primary star of the movie is de Oliveira, who unfolds the story with unfailing skill and sensitivity.

Elusive and elliptical as it is, this is one of the most accessible films in Oliveira's recent repetoire.

Viewers who come to this delicate creation with expectations of just another quaint or sad story are in for a surprise.

By far the most approachable of the director's recent films, with an emotional depth that's true to life and a streamlined narrative that for long stretches barely contains a word.

With this moving, contemplative portrait of an artist who has suddenly become an old man, de Oliveira refuses to patronize either his hero or his audience.

Veteran French star Michel Piccoli is superb as an aging actor named Gilbert Valence.

A famous French actor using his art to work through the loss of his wife and daughter in a car accident. The strategy works, at least for a while.

There are a few movies where you can palpably sense the presence of the director behind the camera, and I'm Going Home is one of them.

Restrained, precise, and unobtrusively wry.

The story told by I'm Going Home is small and perhaps not terribly universal. But there's something poignant about an artist of 90-plus years taking the effort to share his impressions of life and loss and time and art with us.
