I am not sure how I feel about this film

Rating: 8/10 (12 December 2005)

After so much positive push, I saw the film this past weekend. Unexpectedly, I was disappointed how low-keyed and almost flat this film appeared. Yet, a few days later while puzzled by this film, I was also haunted, like so many of the commentors here, by some of the images and dialog of the loneliness and sadness as well as how real these characters were in the film.
This is country music, we hear on the radio, in celloid. This is no way a gay story, rather a story of two people with everyday life struggles, circumstances as well as personal struggles that get in the way being together.
A good film,yes. An excellent film, I am not sure yet.
