For Straight Women & Gay Men

Rating: 10/10 (2 December 2006)

I'm a 40 something wife & Mum. I love movies and I really wanted to see this one, I waited until it was shown on one of the movie channels. It was well worth the wait! I do believe, however, that this movie, as beautifully done as it is, is best for straight women and gay men. There was so much love and tenderness in it, so much truth and honesty that would appeal to both these. I cannot imagine there being anything there to see for gay women, and my husband has said that he does not want to see it, especially after I told him about it. The cinematography is stunning, the acting the finest. I had only seen Jake Gyllenhaal in Jarhead before, I thought he was very good in that too. Heath Ledger has a huge scope of acting skills, the first movie I saw him in was Monster's Ball, and I thought him brilliant then. I can't wait to see more movies with both these guys! Thanks Ang Lee! Blimmin' great!!!!! Lesley
