Plot: A woman coping with a serious illness must face issues in her relationship with her daughter as she recalls her own troubled past in this independent drama. Inga (Marcia Gay Harden) is a wife and mother who lives in Pennsylvania farm country with her husband, Herman (Michael Gaston), and young daughter, Indigo (Eulala Scheel). Inga is recovering from a bout with breast cancer, and her illness has cast a pall on her already rocky relationship with Herman, with both turning to liquor to drown their sorrows. Indigo, meanwhile, has few friends and is very close to Inga; her mother's illness has been difficult for the child, and Inga isn't certain how to ease the girl's worries. Meanwhile, an elderly woman living nearby, Peggy (Marian Seldes), is considering selling the home where she's lived most of her life. Inga is fascinated with Peggy's house because it closely resembles the place where she grew up, and as she explores the old house she is reminded of her relationship with her own mother, who, like her, struggled with cancer. Home received its world premiere at the {~2008 Montreal World Film Festival}. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

This is an excellent poignant movie that is well worth seeing. Marcia Gay Harden and her daughter are fantastic actors. If you're considering bringing your daughters, would be mid-teens or older--very moving, emotional and not always kind relationship between mother who is battling alcoholism and recovering from breast cancer with her daughter and a disconnected husband.

I was a bit dissappointed with this movie. Such great cast but the storline was very slow.

Starring Academy Award winning actress Marcia Gay Harden in the role of Inga, Home: A Film by Mary Haverstick follows Inga, a mother with the soul of a poet at a crossroads. Her estranged husband Hermann (played by Michael Gaston) is bereft of emotional support for her in the wake of her recovery from breast cancer, let alone her passion for buying and restoring and house that reminds her of her childhood home. She shares a close bond with her eight-year-old daughter, and though she is troubled by her decaying marriage, she retains a strong spirit of optimism, as expressed in her own writing. A dramatic and moving saga, highly recommended; bonus features include deleted scenes, storyboards, and poems. 84 minutes.
