Home is really wrestling with things like colonialism and the legacy of America's treatment of Native Americans in the context of a brightly colored, peppily scored alien invasion tale. And this isn't buried deep down in the subtext. What's also kind of fascinating about Home is that it directly confronts some of the most horrific parts of human history in a kid-friendly way. It's nothing you haven't seen before - and the opening montage, which seems to gloss over some horrifying plot points with pop music and Jim Parsons (of Big Bang Theory fame) at his Jim Parsons-iest, doesn't promise a great film.īut by the end, you may be surprised at just how much the relationship between alien Oh (Parsons) and little girl Tip ( pop star Rihanna) has affected you. The story of a little girl, her cat, and the alien that befriends her, Home mashes up the road trip movie with the "alien best friend" movie - like Toy Storywith E.T.
