Heartbreaking.

Rating: 10/10 (28 January 2006)

This is one of the most devastating, powerful films I have ever seen. When I was watching it, I liked it a lot, but didn't feel its impact. That came later, at night, when I was in bed. No movie has ever done that to me. It is a weird feeling; I've been around, seen a lot and always feel a little jaded. But the raw emotions in this movie really grab my heart. Heath Ledger was amazing as Enis - I wanted to grab him and shake him and yell at him: see what a wonderful guy life has given you! Don't let him go, whatever the price is. Jake Gyllenaal was very good too as Jack, brave, willing to give up everything if Enis had let him. I think this is one of the Great Tragic Lovestories of All times, right up there with Romeo & Juliet and Casablanca. A must see for everybody with a heart.
