Review of A Home at the End of the World (2004) by Christopher L — 21 Nov 2004
Starring: Colin Farrell, Robin Wright Penn, Dallas Roberts, and Sissy Spacek.
Directed by Michael Mayer.
Written by Michael Cunningham.
Rated [b]R[/b] (for strong drug content, sexuality, nudity, language and a disturbing accident).
Running time approximately 1 hour 37 minutes.
With his epitome-of-perfection performance in [i]A Home at the End of the World[/i], Colin Farrell has proven himself as one of our very best actors. He is delicately restrained and assured, yet very guarded and surreptitiously forlorn. He has created a fascinating character with this performance, a character who we understand and even, on some level, relate to. In fact, throughout the film, I kept on wishing for my lookout on life to somehow be instantly converted to mirror his. This is a wonderful film, compassionate and affecting, with a wonderfully well written screenplay and an Oscar-calibur performance from one of the most underappreciated actors around. [b]***1/2 (out of ****) A-[/b].
