Reception
Eddie Cockrell of Variety gave the film a mixed review and wrote that "...Wressnig brings a fine Euro gravity to the updated Catherine Deneuve role, but viewers will be distracted by overly schematic and unconvincing production design."{{cite magazine|last=Cockrell|first=Eddie|title=Housebound|date=October 9, 2000|magazine=Variety|url=https://variety.com/2000/film/reviews/housebound-1200464909/|accessdate=July 16, 2022}}
Ron Wells of Film Threat gave it a positive review, praising Kornhauser "...for expressing some unfashionable compassion of a tale that demonstrates that two people, no matter how screwed up, can help each other if they open themselves up."{{cite web|last=Wells|first=Ron|title=Kitchen Privileges|date=March 28, 2000|website=Film Threat|url=https://filmthreat.com/uncategorized/kitchen-privileges/|accessdate=July 16, 2022}}
