SnoopyStyle In 1967 Cleveland, Bobby Morrow idolizes his older brother but he dies in a freak accident. In high school, he gets into a secret gay relationship with Jonathan Glover. Jonathan's mother Alice (Sissy Spacek) teaches him how to bake. At 24, Bobby (Colin Farrell) moves to NYC and reunites with Jonathan (Dallas Roberts). Clare (Robin Wright Penn) is their bohemian roommate. They form an unconventional threesome family.As a biopic, it's OK. As a relationship movie, it's meandering. As a historical drama, they're in period gear. The acting is nothing special. Colin Farrell is good. Director Michael Mayer does nothing but a straight line job. It's an unimpressive movie derived from better material with good actors in the mix.
Marcko Zaminio Bobby (Colin Farrell) is a sweet spirited individual who sees the world in a haze of naive innocence despite the tragedies that have defined much of his life. He is a survivor and he has no limits in his ability to love and to make his life happy as well as the lives of those he loves. Bobby knows "It's a big, beautiful, noisy world," but "There's nothing to fear." He is the kind of person that so many of us aspire to be - eternally optimistic and always anticipating the wonders of the future.There is a home at the end of the world for Bobby. It is there for all of us as well as long as we open our eyes to see it and open our hearts to let it in.
Gordon-11 This film is about two men, who were more than best friends in their teenage years, meeting again after years apart. They have a complicated relationship together with a quirky female flatmate."A Home at the End of the World" tells the gripping tale of Bobby's life, who was orphaned during his teenage years. He meets a nerd called Jonathan, and their friendship soon blossoms into something more. This transition is subtle and yet convincing. Years later, Bobby joins Jonathan and Clare in the big city. The three of them soon develops palpable tension, which is expertly crafted. The film takes you right into their thoughts and feelings. It's a simple low budget film without any fancy effects, but it is emotionally complex and layered. All three major characters' feelings get explored equally and adequately."A Home at the End of the World" is a beautifully crafted drama about an unusual love triangle. I enjoyed watching it.
markibest The storyline (Michael Cunningham) is unique and the characters well developed. It's not a complex story but the treatment of the characters is subtle and you're left using your own imagination. Sissy Spacek is of course perfect. I was worried at first that Colin Ferrell was too obvious in his choices but it works well for this somewhat unpredictable movie. There is nothing in the film that comes out and says "this is what this movie is about" and ultimately it leaves you feeling sympathetic for the characters. Basically, this film is a good example of how a good story and all the right elements come together to make a very good movie. The story is within the journey of the characters rather than the outcome at the end.
