REVIEWS:

"An extraordinarily moving film. .... [In] the nature of the friendship between Voight and Fonda...'Coming Home' works on a level that doesn't depend on such plot elements as the war, the husband, the paralysis, the time and place, or anything else. Thinking about the movie, we realize that men and women have been so polarized in so many films...that the mutual human friendship of these two characters comes as something of a revelation."

-- Roger Ebert; 1978
