SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
ritera1 I really have to read the back of the DVD box 'cause I wandered into a gay movie again.Being that this is a movie about a persecuted group of people, I have to say that I'm a tree huggin' liberal. I'm for equality down the line.But this was really pretentious. Done well, without a doubt. Good direction, acting and writing.But I really didn't like these people. Very dysfunctional. We're all dysfunctional, but really? If you're having sex with your best friend as a teenager, straight or not, and you expect to be just friends after that, then you have to reassess your common sense. Not to mention basing the rest of your life on that common sense.I get confused by these movies. They don't show gay men in a good light. Gay men can be gay men if they like. There are a lot of annoying straight people. I guess there are annoying gay men, too. But it doesn't work well when your heroes in a movie are annoying. Give it a try with action movies, the sexuality of the heroes are cursory at best. Let's try it with gay men, as an exercise.
Joe Daniels I love the fact that this movie didn't follow the typical "Something bad happens then I learn from my mistakes and get the girl" theme. It was a movie of learning things about yourself and making mistakes along the way. "Knowing is half the battle" they say and this movie illustrates that quote perfectly.The character Bobby has always been himself no matter the situation. Even when things got 'hot' between Johns mother and him his faith never wavered for a second. The entire movie I kept waiting for the moment when he would put the moves on her and was very relieved when he didn't.Making Bobby and Jonathan bisexual and homosexual puts that twist on it to where it can't be a typical story. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this film really brings to light events that actually happen in real life, that everything doesn't just magically get fixed; you just learn from your problems and deal with them as they come.
dreamer2992 This has to be one of the best movies I have ever seen. The first time I saw this movie I just stayed in awe. This movie gives you every feeling that a person can probably get. Colin Farrell is an amazing actor on this movie, the ways that Bobby thinks is somewhat similar as some people think but there is one part that just makes you see how much of a kid he still is. Another thing about Bobby is how he had to grow up without any parents or siblings around, instead he went into another family and pretended that that was his family Sissy Spacek again wonderful acting, it's really sad how in one part of the movie she just wants to be hugged by a strong man. This movie is basically #1 on my charts and I hope it will be on yours too.
marcus_stokes2000 *A SPOILER At The End Of The World* Young Bobby loses slowly, one by one, his older brother, mother, and father, and is adopted by his best friend, Jonathan Glover,'s family, where he is welcomed almost like a second son by Jonathan's parents and... more, by Jonathan, a fact that his mother (Sissy Spacek) can't fail to notice.Cue a few years later; Bobby (Colin Farrell) is now an adult, working in the Glovers' bakery, and decides to go visit Jonathan (Dallas Roberts), who now has come out, in NYC. He meets him and his friend Clare (Robin Wright Penn), who is hopelessly in love with Jonathan, and the three end up forming an unconventional kind of family...I haven't read the book yet, but this movie is clearly one of a kind, with the magnetic and trustful performance of Colin Farrell as the center; he nails perfectly a very difficult character, which hasn't lost his idealism, his goodness and the ability to love the world, even if it doesn't deserve it.Warner Independent scores another 10/10 (after the one for 'Around The Bend') for this movie. Clearly 2004 was a great year for them! I hope 'We Don't Live Here Anymore' is as good as these two movies have been...A Home At The End Of The World: 10/10.
