| | A Home at the End of the World (2004): Colin Farrell, Robin Wright Penn, Sissy Spacek, Dallas Roberts - PopMatters Film ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) |
 | | Though Jonathan is quite smitten with Bobby (they engage in affectionate mutual jerking off), and so, willing to put up with his seemingly unconscious horning in (Bobby invites Alice to smoke dope with them, not a little unnerving for her son), the boys' relationship is fraught from the start. |
 | | Jonathan misreads Bobby's desire to please as a genuine interest in a romantic relationship, and Bobby is singularly unable to gauge or maintain boundaries. |
 | | The reasons for Bobby and Clare's instant friendship might seem more obvious (thank god, she convinces him to cut it into a proper Colin-Farrelly scruff, at which point you begin to believe that the film might right itself), but their recklessness with regard to Jonathan's response is odd, at least. |
