An extraordinary documentary, especially for those who miss home, hometown people, innocent times and want to ease the everlasting pain temporarily. It makes you feel cosy, warms your heart. After all, it is Sigur Ros.

There are no words to describe it; breathtaking is too bleak and powerful is too weak. I want to close my eyes and just listen, but I can't. It's simply all too beautiful.

Finally, an alternative approach for a music-tour-dvd. Sigur Ros' music on its own has has always forced me into a certain state of unawarness and with this original concept of Heima it makes you daydream even more. The photography and the accompanying interviews give a nice perspective in the collective soul of Iceland (maybe a bit too romanticized, but what the hell, Iceland is beautiful).

As much about the landscapes and the people of Iceland as it is about Sigur Ros. The photography is beautiful and I particularly liked the sections which featured archive footage - the old fisherman, the families on the beach and so on. It illustrated nicely that wherever you've been, no matter how much the country changes, home is always home.

Hands down the most breathtaking 94 minutes of my life. Upon completion I was left speechless and unable, that's not even the right word, not wanting to move. I feel privileged to have seen it.

I have come to terms with the fact that mere video will never be able to capture the sheer awesomeness of a Sigur Ros live performance, but this is still a lovely documentary. It features great performances mixed with interviews of the members and some breathtaking shots of Iceland. A must see for any Sigur Ros fan and even non-fans should give it a shot.

This hard to really rate fairly for me. Some of the images are really beautiful and the music is pleasant enough, but I don't really care to listen to it for 90+ minutes, especially with interspersed interviews with people I don't care about in the least.

Welcome to a world of emotion. If you never listened to Rós before, welcome to a new life. If you're a fan.. Nothing to say..

It's not just a series of music videos. As the title says, it's a meditation on coming home.

If you love Sigur Rós and you love Iceland, then this is a must-see/must-have. Lots of concert footage with great sound interspersed with interesting band member interviews and fascinating glimpses of Icelandic life and scenery. Extremely well done.

Extraordinarily attractive scenery, mixed with the haunting and ethereal music from Sigur Rós, make this a treat for the eyes and the ears – as a film, it weakens whenever it switches focus to the fairly pithy and superficial observations from interview segments with the band members; these break the spell somewhat and often feel like marking time between the “musical numbers”. Still a nice treat if you’re on its wavelength, and I imagine devotees would like it even more.

On the tail end of their 2006 world tour, Sigur Rós return to Iceland and play a series of free concerts in small rural towns. Most of these shows are outdoors, so there's a lot of footage of stunning exteriors with the band playing to, in most cases, the entire town. It's really a beautiful film with some really wonderful performances by the band, sometimes incorporating musicians from the towns they play for.

The summary below says it all really, you'll get that from this film at the very least. If, however, you're a fan of their music, enjoy a touch of nostalgia, sweetness and "simple pleasures" approach to life mixed in with the stunning Icelandic landscape and recognisable ethereal sounds that define Sigur Ros then I'm sure you'll get a whole lot more from this.

If you love Sigur Ros, this is a film you have to see... their music fits with the images of their beautiful little country perfectly.

The best music documentary/tour film out there, but also so much more than that. If this doesn't convince you that Sigur Rós are one of the most important artists in music right now, you probably like dubstep (and as an extension, should die).

For anyone who appreciates the band, this is really great. You can feel the warmth of the Icelandic communities greeting the band, you just want to be part of it, to sit beside all these nice people in the nice landscapes and listen to the heavenly music.
