While the rambling storyline and extended time-frame betrays the script's novelistic roots, soulful performances from Farrell, Sissy Spacek and newcomer Dallas Roberts make this a rich and emotionally rewarding experience.

Top Critic The filmmakers drift into sentimentality too easily and badly shy away from the provocative issues they raise (like sexuality).

shorter than THE HOURS and this is the main reason why Michael Cunnigham should be pleased with this adaptation of his work

First-time film director Michael Mayer ... does a magnificent job of drawing subtle, honest performances out of the entire cast.

Whether Colin Farrell is cast-against-type or miscast in this mediocre adaptation of Cunningham's evocative novel is a matter of debate

Fantastic 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.

The movie makes the characters worse than enigmas; it makes them the last people imaginable from which you expect or even desire to learn anything.

Farrell's acting is so totally likable, he lifts the story from its sudsy roots and elevates it to something worthy of memory. Well, at least if you have a short memory.

Home stubbornly takes no shortcuts, skipping through a greatest hits selection from the book; All the big scenes with little of the cumulative emotional effect.

All roads lead to ruin in Home's world, lending an unexpectedly reactionary tone to the work.

Top Critic The story devolves into a contest to see which character can be the most selfish and eccentric.

Captures a fleeting moment in the subculture of 1980s America with heart-rending precision.
