| Review By Dan Foster: Home At The End of the World
|
|
If you are deeply religious with very strong convictions of what is right and wrong, you most likely will not want to see
Home At The End of the World. But, let's face it, "Curiosity does kill the cat" so go ahead and read the review, if you don't rent the movie.
For those that are going to run out and pick up this dvd, it is fascinating, if not complex, dealing with issues of love and intimacy
that test the boundaries of so-called societal norms. The film begins in the late 60's in Cleveland. Fourteen year old Bobby Morrow's older brother dies, his mother dies, and then his father dies. Bobby(Colin Farrell) moves in with his best friend Jonathan Glover's family. There is alot of bonding through high school as well as smoking "joints." In fact, Bobby gets Alice (Sissy Spacek) to smoke her first joint. Alice, Jonathan's mother, finds the boys in the back of a VW; so, you guessed it, Jonathan and Bobby are having a romantic relationship.
Bobby follows Jonathan to New York where he meets Claire(Robin Wright Penn), Jonathan's roommate. They form a type of alternative family. Jonathan becomes promiscuous. Bobby and Claire eventually hook up. They all three move to a
farmhouse in upstate New York. Clare has Bobby's baby.
In this movie, there is romantic tension all around. Jonathan wants Bobby, Bobby wants Jonathan, Claire wants Bobby or does she want Jonathan? And the saga continues...
This is a very ethereal movie and ends with a lot of loose ends. Rent this movie one night when you are feeling melancholy; or, if any of these conditions exist: your wife is on your case, your girlfriend has left you, you have a six pack handy, the telephone is off the hook, and your roommate, neighbor, or buddy is in the same shape you are. See it when you have time to chill and stay up all night talking. Good luck!
