Time Out says
Most martyrs of the civil-rights movement have been memorialized, yet one
crucial figure is absent from the tributes and textbooks: Viola Liuzzo. This
documentary sheds light on this Detroit mother's sacrifice and strives to give
her children a deferred sense of closure. You wish that di Florio's ambitious
attempt to tie in the personal stories with the sociopolitical legacy of
Liuzzo's death didn't feel so jumbled, or that the director's questionable
aesthetic choices didn't substantially downgrade the proceedings. As an epitaph,
Home of the Brave succeeds in properly lionizing its heroine; as a film,
its faults undercut its fervid homage with frustrating regularity.
