What We Think

“Home” goes all-in on the climate change alarm bells, pushing an unambiguous eco-centric worldview and eagerly bashing traditional industry and lifestyles. It’s visually impressive, but there’s little room given for debate or alternative perspectives, unless you count being lectured by an aerial camera perspective as a conversation.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The 2009 documentary "Home" is laser-focused on environmental messaging, often at the expense of nuanced storytelling or balanced character exploration (though it’s mostly visuals and narration). The presentation is visually stunning, but viewers looking for narrative subtlety or character-driven plots will be left wanting. It’s a clear case of message first, story second.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film largely frames traditional industries, consumerism, and even some aspects of modern family life as inherently destructive. There’s a persistent sense that longstanding cultural practices are presented as outmoded in favor of a global, eco-centric worldview. The foundations of Western prosperity don’t get much positive screen time here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints, such as agricultural innovation, free-market solutions, or non-globalist approaches, are almost completely absent. The film unwaveringly pushes a single environmentalist ideology, with dissenting voices essentially nowhere to be found, except possibly as part of the problem.
