There aren't many
independent films that do well in sales or in box office receipts -
but they are critically acclaimed.
I have never been into
independent films unless is some horror film or something
along those lines. But times change. Since I have been running the
site and catching any movie I can get my hands on my tastes are
expanding.
Colin Farrell has
never struck me as a dramatic actor, but he does a nice job in the
role of Bobby Morrow. The film shines thanks to his surrounding cast. The young Farrell,
played by Andrew Chalmers is an excellent performance.
A Home at the End of
the World is a simply wonderful
film about life, friendships and love. It's the story of life
changing events of a troubled youth name Bobby Morrow from childhood
into manhood.
PACKAGING
The cover art for the film
isn't much to look at. It has a faded $5.50 bin look to it.
VIDEO:
Like most new films the transfer looks
excellent presented in the 16:9 anamorphic widescreen. The blacks
are dark creating bright colorful images that are sharp to the
viewer. Forget about the debris, the film is clean.
AUDIO:
The features soundtrack is true retro, maybe worth a purchase on CD.
There's nothing in the film to show off the digital surround but the
voices are clean and come through the center channel nice and
clear.
BONUS FEATURES:
The film has almost no extras.
SUMMARY:
This film was a pleasant surprise. The dramatic swing of the film is
excellent. The acting, the story and the direction make for nice
picture. The men out there should know this is a chick flick to the
extreme, and it's a quality film too.
Feature Film Rating:
