Why isn't this in your cart yet?
I have been awestruck by this impeccable portrayal of love. The imagery, language, direction, and acting in this movie is flawless. This movie contains a raw, pure, and uncompromised glimpse into the inner workings of an imaginative and tumultuous relationship. This movie depicts the vulnerability of two human beings and forces the viewer to become emotionally involved in their lives. It must be mentioned that 'The Whole Wide World' contains one of the best on-screen kisses of all time (who could go wrong with gifted character actor Vincent D'Onofrio?). This is a must see for anyone who appreciates a great(and true)love chronicle and movie genius.

The Whole Wide World
This is for the passionate fan of anything R.E.Howard , as in , if you don't know what R.E. stands for don't bother with this film.It is beautifully filmed and acted by D'Onofrio and Zellweiger, and captures the moment in his life as he clutches to his dreams in a most bittersweet endgame.He was the Father of the Heroic Fantasy and his life was an homage to the original Doomed Hero of Greek Tragedy.Not for the lighthearted. Gregory K. Tobkes, East Meadow, NY.

Dreadful, awful and embarrassing
Vincent D'Onofrio gives a painfully high school quality performance as the genius writer, Robert E. Howard. Totally unsympathetic almost until the very end, one has to ask why this movie would interest any but Mr. Howard's fans and why they should tolerate such a shoddy treatment of a truly gifted man. There's precious little reason to care for either of the two main characters, although Renée Zellweger gives a game performance and shows any depth or dimension of any of the players in front of the camera. D'Onofrio who gave a riveting performance as the psychotic misfit "Private Pyle" in 'Full Metal Jacket', totally ignored Howard's many facets to portray him as a social outcast and raving lunatic. While I began watching this movie with anxious anticipation knowing that D'Onofrio and Zellweger are top-flight performers, the movie ended mercifully way too late to hope to get 93 of the longest movie watching minutes of my life back. Instead of D'Onofrio, Kevin Kline or even Robert Downey, Jr, would have been a much better choice of lead and brought a much higher quality performance. Ninety-three excruciating, dreary and painfully lonnnnnnnng minutes. Avoid this mess.
