Soul-touching and moving, TWO WAYS HOME compassionately follows Kathy (Tanna Frederick), a woman newly diagnosed with bipolar disorder who is released from prison on good behavior and returns to her country home in Iowa to reconnect with her estranged 12-year-old daughter (Rylie Behr) and her cantankerous elderly grandfather (Tom Bower). Her return home is turbulent and a rough, unwelcome transition in which Kathy must come to terms with her diagnosis and its implications on her identity, while also realizing that her family was happier when she was gone. Conflict with her family intensifies as she struggles to keep her head above water, putting her self-worth and well-being to the ultimate test.

Beautifully depicted story

Two Ways Home" is a low-key indie drama about a family history, going through personal failures, mental health and strong redemption. It is beautifully shot, as well as empathetically-acted and reasonably well-written. Furthermore it benefits from that essential ingredient that makes or breaks many a low-budget independent film - a sense of place. It's a rural Iowa story from start to finish but it works.
