A powerful film about love and war. Oscars for the leads and Bruce Dern deservedly nominated.

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.
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.

Ashby here soft soaps the issue of Vietnam and America's part in it by giving us merely a diluted and melodramatic love story.
October 31, 2007
The performances, undeniably appealing, were deservedly praised, Dern and Voight coming off best.

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.

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.

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

Politics aside, there's little to complain about in Coming Home.

This movie is a big deal.
May 08, 2002
A convincing meditation on the scars the Vietnam War left on the bodies, minds, and souls of many soldiers and civilians.
May 20, 2003
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.
