A Home at the End of the World (2004)

Director: Michael Mayer
Cast: Colin Farrell, Dallas Roberts, Robin Wright Penn, Erik Smith, Harris Allan, Sissy Spacek

This one is a treat for those who like sagas. I was no big fan of Colin Farrell, he did alright in Phone Booth and Alexander. But here he has done things so naturally and got into the skin of the role he played that soon we forget that he is just an actor. He is best at the scenes where acting is less verbal, his body language speaks in volumes. Erik Smith as the young Bobby is good and resembles Colin Farrell quite well. Dallas Roberts lacked the screen presence and looked more like one of those small-time Indy actors. Robin Wright Penn would however be remembered for her role, undoubtedly one of her best.

This is one of those movies that make you feel lonely, knowing that life is a journey alone, till the end. And one of those that stays with you, for long, if not forever.
