Reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review
Both Jane Fonda and Jon Voight won Oscars for their performances in Coming Home, a profoundly moving 1978 flick dealing with the aftereffects of the Vietnam War. Fonda, feeling isolated while her hawkish husband (Bruce Dern) is away in Vietnam, follows a friend's example and volunteers at a veteran's hospital. There she is reacquainted with Voight, an old friend who has returned from the war as a paraplegic. Lonely and disconnected from her husband, Fonda finds love--and fulfilling sex--with Voight. The sex scenes, very steamy for the time, are still provocative. This mature love story is about expanding your horizons, and is both moving and thoughtful. Director Hal Ashby (Harold and Maude) does succumb to melodrama on occasion, but these are forgivable slips. --Rochelle O'Gorman, Amazon.com

2.0 out of 5 stars Great movie, shame about the DVD, 5 Feb 2007
This review is from: Coming Home [DVD] [1978] (DVD)
This is a great movie, with wonderful performances, but is severely let down by the terrible quality of the DVD. The picture is very grainy and the soundtrack crackly and indistinct. (I had to turn on the subtitles to make out what was being said.) It was like watching through a net curtain with cotton wool in your ears.

5.0 out of 5 stars Coming Home, 30 Jan 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Coming Home [DVD] [1978] (DVD)
Great moving movie, looking at what I suppose could be a very common aspect of war, but from an original aspect. Great soundtrack, that has been linked to the storyline very well. I certainly would like to be able to get a CD of the soundtrack. Very much recommended

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 21 April 2008
This review is from: Coming Home [DVD] [1978] (DVD)
What a great movie - can't believe I'd never even heard of it before last week. Why is it not still in circulation?
The sound quality is the only thing that let's it down, to be honest it is terrible, but the storyline and filming are first class.
Obviously the film is quite dated now, but Luke Martin (played by Jon Voight)is just gorgeous and shines throughout the film.
When we first meet Luke he is stuck in the VA hospital, strapped face down on a bed and roaming the wards with the aid of two sticks. He is obviously upset and angry at not being looked after properly (the hospital is understaffed) - he complains of not being bathed often enough or having his urine bag emptied and is probably frustrated with being stuck in a hospital bed for so long because of his injury.
This is when he first meets Sally (Jane Fonda) and she gets to see the full strength his anger as he beats up a medicine trolley with his stick!
However, as soon as Luke gets his freedom and is given a wheelchair he becomes a new man - he is mobile again. From then on his relationship with Sally intensifies and they get closer and closer until the day her husband returns from Vietnam...
Please watch this film, it is brillaint and most of the issues are still relevant today.
