Never have I seen such a light-hearted, sweet and believeable drama portraying the love between so many characters. This film is a great piece of cinema. It begins with the friendship between a young boy, Bobby, and his older brother, who dies in a freak accident. The rest of the film concerns Bobby's relationships - with his teenage soulmate and a young woman called Claire - and his coming to terms with the loss of his entire family at a young age. The film is full of interesting concepts, such as that of hormonal teenage boys and the idea of creating a family where there are three parents. The main character, Bobby, is played superbly by three actors - as a young boy, a teenager, and a confused young man (Colin Farrell). As always, Farrell's presence is mesmerising - as a charming yet confused personality, he steals the movie, yet every other actor is brilliant. If you are looking for a heartwarming, emotional film concerning the complications of love and friendship, then it would be wise to watch this film, a largely underrated piece of modern cinema.

The 'home' at the end of the world is a beacon of light and love in a remote area. It's where the film reaches its conclusion. I won't spoil how and why. However, as audience, be sure to be left with many questions. The ending leaves open many options for individual interpretations as to how characters will come to terms with their situation after the credits have started rolling.
'Home' is a delightful tale of people listening to their hearts, rather than their minds. Plot revolves around Bobby (Colin Farrell) and his mate Jonathan (Dallas Roberts). Their friendship starts out in their teens and evolves into a long term relationship. They experience their road to adulthood free from moral oppression and frustration. The couple is loved by its human environment and left to make their own choices as to how to sort their lives out. Supporting characters Clare (Robin Wright Penn) and Jonathan's mum (Sissy Spacek) brilliantly provide the synergistic means for Bobby and Jonathan to reach whatever they're after.
Many a situation in the storyline could have been met by anger and wrath by the characters. Instead, all concerned treated these with love, humour, tenderness and understanding. The heart ruled, not the mind. I took 'Home' to heart.

A well crafted film. I watched with delight and sadness and will see it again and again. C Farell's character is a little too good to be true, but yet he was stoned most of the time. A brave American journey into gay scene. Acting is superb. A treat for a sentimental soul. Get a paper tissue ready.Sissy Spacek is superb so is everything else except the story line. A little naive or simple lacks drama. However it does not distract from the overall good impression.

heartwarming
This film seemed to get much less attention than the other adaptation of a Michael Cunningham novel, The Hours, and while it doesn't quite match the intensity of that film it does... Read more

Pleasant movie
Love how the title becomes relevant towards the end of the movie and how true love on an emotional level is played off against more physical affection and love. Big fan of Farrel!
