Utterly Brilliant

Rating: 8/10 (23 December 2005)

What can I say that hasn't been said of this already?
In a way its best to watch this knowing nothing at all, as I did, and just let yourself be swept along on the most unexpected ride.
Performances are great, script is sparse but heavy and story is an emotional knock out.
Kind of reminds you what film making is all about - I read the annie proulx short story after watching this - its great - but film does so much more to you, when done well as here
Only shame is Heath L seesm to be getting all the award noms and Jake G nothing - which seems kind of screwy but there you go....
Enjoy!!!
