"An uplifting portrait of a situation clearly more common than some might think."
-Entertainment Weekly
"Poignant..." -New York Newsday
"Fascinating..." -Time Out New York
"A frank, insightful exploration of what it means to grow-up with gay or lesbian parents."
-Gay Parent Magazine
"It's the everydayness that impresses most in this thoughtful and thought-provoking documentary."
-Sydney Star Observer
"An honest and affecting film about what it is like to grow up with gay parents and the self-understanding that comes along the way."
-NY Blade News
"Our House documents the sheer ordinariness of these families - and the unique challenges they face."
-The Advocate
"The hour is packed with parents, children and issues, but the pace is never hurried, and we are drawn into these very real families and feel their sometimes very real pain.... Unfortunately, the people who most need to see this video - politicians, religious conservatives, high school principals in Arkansas - are unlikely to sit through it. Indeed, they're likelier to make a stink about taxpayer's money being used to finance Spadola's moving portrait of these American families..."
-Dan Savage, Rolling Stone
"What Spadola mostly shows is how much these kids are real kids, romantic and smart and fun and bratty, and how much they are forced to think about what other kids don't have to and how they hate having to deal with the world's ideas about their parents."
-San Francisco Examiner
"...the children tell about how they have dealt with cruelty from others, questions about their own sexuality and rejection as they struggle to find acceptance for their families. What is refreshing about this series of interviews is the absence of politically correct answers. Both children and parents appear to speak from the heart, saying what they really feel rather than what they think the filmmakers might want to hear."
-Minneapolis Star Tribune
"The children's voices are loud, clear, revelatory. Raw, poignant, and humorous, Our House celebrates five families as they are. This film will amaze, teach and inspire."
-Barbara Seyda, photographer/co-author, Women in Love: Portraits of Lesbian Mothers & Their Families
"Our House is an excellent and entertaining examination of a question that is in the minds of many."
-New York Gay & Lesbian Film Festival (Jury Award - Best Documentary)
"The stories vary enormously, but the kids speak with the same amazingly unfazed voice."
-London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival
"Maybe every homophobe will watch [OUR HOUSE] and realize how "normal" their supposedly "different" adversaries are, and subsequently change their hurtful viewpoint."
