Leave your thoughts about A Home at the End of the World.
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittAt its best, A Home at the End of the World has great emotional strength. But it's not the towering achievement it might have been if Cunningham had stayed truer to his original inspiration. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasCharged by a passion for life, A Home at the End of the World is a major achievement. |
| Dallas Morning NewsJane SumnerThe best reasons [to see it] have to be the subtle, nuanced performances of Mr. Farrell, newcomer Dallas Roberts, a never-better Robin Wright Penn and the endearing evergreen Pride of Quitman, Texas, Sissy Spacek. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA sprightly but shallow tale of a defiantly untraditional family...but the pleasures of the picture largely make up for the affectation. |
| Reno Gazette-JournalForrest HartmanFantastic performances, a wonderful script and solid direction by Michael Mayer place A Home at the End of the World among the year's finest movies. |
| Film ExperienceNathaniel RogersHome stubbornly takes no shortcuts, skipping through a greatest hits selection from the book; All the big scenes with little of the cumulative emotional effect. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertColin Farrell is astonishing in the movie. |

It's more an admirably performed and observed study -- of a time, place and three very different people -- than it is the heartbreaking and engrossing story it could have been. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisBobby marks a turning point for Colin Farrell, whose vulgarities and inelegance tend to get the better of his range. |
