A Home at the End of the World

Hmmm, have just watched 'A Home at the End of the World'. It's a film based on a novel by Pullitzer prize winning novelist Michael Cunningham. I was drawn to it due to the fact that I was having a Colin moment, and he just happens to be the star of this one. The film is a strange one, but it's heart is a good one. The story of a boy whose tragic upbringing encourages him to go through life in a way many others wouldn't. It's the story of trying to find somewhere to belong, of how we fit into other people's lives, of friendships. It covers such topics as loss, drugs, homosexuality, bisexuality, parenting etc. Colin's character is just following the love, searching for a place where he feels at 'home'. The cast also includes Sissy Spacek and Robin Wright Penn. I enjoyed the film, despite it being caned by the critics at its time of release, I think it is totally watchable. Without sounding biased, Colin's performance was mesmerising, when he is onscreen, he is definitely the best thing about the film.
