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

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.

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.

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.

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

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