David Sterritt

At its best, A Home at the End of the World has great emotional strength. But it's not the towering achievement it might have been if Cunningham had stayed truer to his original inspiration. Read full review

Bobby marks a turning point for Colin Farrell, whose vulgarities and inelegance tend to get the better of his range. Read full review

Claudia Puig

The movie is really a lovely ensemble piece. Beautifully conceived and written by Michael Cunningham (Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Hours), the film has a distinctly novelistic and literate style.
