See it.....

Rating: 9/10 (27 January 2006)

even if the subject matter makes you uncomfortable. It's a love story....that just happens to be between two men instead of a man and woman. The acting of both leads was wonderful and so seamless. That's reason enough to see this movie. I do think that Heath Ledger will win an Oscar nomination for his depiction of Ennis. These actors took great chances and it paid off. The cinematography was beautiful and the story rang true of the time and places. Randy Quaid was unexpected in his role and truly exemplifies the hostility that so many face. Thankfully, there was little nudity to distract from the story but enough for it to ring true for the relationship. The two female leads also deserve recognition for their portrayals of the wives. No matter how you feel about homosexuality, this movie is worth seeing.
