Heart-Wrenching

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2006)

I had been looking forward to seeing this movie since I read about it after the Toronto Film Festival in September. I always zealously applaud (and look forward to) movies that shed light on an aspect of society with which not many people are familiar (or don't want to be made familiar).
When I left the movie theater, I felt like I had just gotten a punch in the chest, leaving me completely winded. Breathtaking shots, passionate love story, heart-wrenching finale, poignant social commentary.
I don't want to say too much, because once I start talking about this movie I won't be able to stop. Just this...this movie made me want to jump inside and meet Jack Twist and Ennis Del Mar.
