Home at the End of the World DVD - Award-Winning Drama Film - Perfect for Movie Nights & Family Entertainment

This movie made me think, laugh and cry over and over. I've had it for a couple of years now and pulled it out to watch again last night after a while of not seeing it. What a marvelous experience it is! Colin Farrell's character was interesting. He took on sort of a free spirit type thanks to his loving and open older brother who molds him in the beginning of the movie with his small role. Early on Bobby loses all of his family and has to live with a friend. What he learned from his brother he passes onto everyone else. There are a couple of scenes where he and his new found friend, Johnathan smoke weed as teenagers while listening to some awesome music. And speaking of the music it's pretty fantastic in this movie! Some of the tunes are older like the Laura Nyro ones but there are newer tunes from the 90s too such as the exclusive-to-the-soundtrack-tunes by singer-songwriter Duncan Sheik.Bobby is really outgoing as a kid but he's a mixture of introvert and extrovert as an adult I found. He acts coy in many a scene but during the tender moments of dancing with another character like Johnathan or Johnathan's mother he comes to life. Johnathan's character is more to the shy and quiet side definitely in his childhood and I would say he's just kind of the private type as he grows older. There are a few secrets he tries to keep during this movie. I think this movie is ultimately about the bond of friendship and new beginnings. Bobby and Johnathan more or less share a close friendship throughout the entire movie, Johnathan's family move from the city to a more relaxed place in Phoenix to start over and Johnathan, Bobby and Clair, the interesting free bird in the story who is friends with Johnathan, move from New York City to a house in the country to raise her and Bobby's first and only child. Just for a heads up if you don't know by now this movie has a couple of gay-themed occurrences in it. I don't mind that and actually it was probably one of the reasons I decided to get the movie after my first watch. But I thought I'd warn you in case you're not keen on that type of stuff.This is definitely a movie to experience though. It had me feeling all types of emotions throughout and I'm glad I can say that I own it.4.5 stars.
