A wonderful movie with stellar performances; though Dern is a bit of a caricature.

Ashby here soft soaps the issue of Vietnam and America's part in it by giving us merely a diluted and melodramatic love story.

This movie is a big deal.

Politics aside, there's little to complain about in Coming Home.
October 31, 2007
The performances, undeniably appealing, were deservedly praised, Dern and Voight coming off best.
May 08, 2002
A convincing meditation on the scars the Vietnam War left on the bodies, minds, and souls of many soldiers and civilians.

Coming Home is in general an excellent Hal Ashby film which illuminates the conflicting attitudes on the Vietnam debacle from the standpoint of three participants.

A powerful film about love and war. Oscars for the leads and Bruce Dern deservedly nominated.
February 08, 2008
Though well acted by Jon Voight and Jane Fonda (who won Oscars), Coming Home is one of Hal Ashby's weakest films, a middlebrow melodrama that wears its political message on its sleeves.
June 24, 2006
Cliché piles on cliché to the strains of a garbled '60s soundtrack, but the movie's ending goes some way to recognising its failure. Fonda is magnificent.

The film has less to do with politics, women's or otherwise, than with a very conventional notion of the redemptive power of mother love. Which would be all right if director Hal Ashby had managed to mount it effectively.

Slowly, disastrously, it reveals its true identity as a three-sided love story about two Vietnam veterans and the one woman who loves them both.
