A monumental film with heat-wrenching performances

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2006)

I know this is the umpteenth rave review to be posted about BBM, but I feel inexplicably compelled to express my gratitude to Ang Lee for creating such a masterful piece of cinematic brilliance. The film is undeniably one of the most touching and sensitive human portraits I have seen in a long time. The performances are transcendental, heart-wrenching, brilliant. The quiet moments in the film are the most heart-wrenching of all; the love shared between the two characters is expressed with a tenderness and tranquility that leaves viewers anguished by the reality of their situation. This film is undoubtedly one of my all-time favorites!
