Turmoil of unsheltered childhood: the dwelling as self.

"The disasters of life can make it hard to go home. Bourque's brief, beautiful, and affecting film goes by so quickly it's printed twice on the reel, so you can get a second look."
-Program notes, Images Film Festival Catalogue, Toronto, 2001

"Louise Bourque's Going Back Home conveys a sense of loss and upheaval with just a few images"
-Steve Anker and Kathy Geritz, Program notes, San Francisco International Film Festival, 2002
