Home at the End of the World, 2 stars

As the second movie of the festival, saw Michael Mayer’s Home at the End of the World.

And came away seriously underwhelmed. Kept waiting for the story to kick in and the characters to appeal. With the exception of Sissy Spacek in a great role, they never did. The movie has got some great moments, but it’s a very front-loaded experience. After all, it’s hard to top off a scene where a seven-year old kid drops acid in a graveyard…

So, it’s not a bad movie - by no means, but just utterly failed to cross my interest-threshold.
