A Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (17 January 2006)

Like a lot of reviewers I have felt compelled to write about this movie, something I have not done before. So why have I, well the acting is a career best for both the male leads, especially Heath Ledger, who I think found that defining role and excelled in it actually that's an understatement he was amazing. I also responded to the subtle approach, not being told when to cry, or in fact feel any emotion, just left to get on with it and decide for myself, how grown up, Ang Lee's master touch me thinks. It also made me think of that all consuming passion you experience every now and then in life, memories of which stay with you forever, powerful stuff. So go see it, you would be mad not too. Andrew
