Superb

Rating: 7/10 (7 January 2006)

This movie was somewhat boring during the first half, even though there is beautiful mountain scenery. Maybe if you're gay, you think the interaction between the characters is interesting enough. The movie is about this interaction, and after their first summer together, it follows their relationship is a serious and intelligent manner. Their relationships to their wives is shown in the same manner. The difference between them is also portrayed with detail and sensitivity. Heath Ledger does a superb job in his Gary Cooper-like non-talking cowboy. I did enjoy the movie very much. It was about the development of a romance, but the fact that it showed scenes of them getting together every few years made me think it would have worked better as a long novel (yes, I know it was based on a short story).
