Irrepressibly beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (29 January 2006)

Brokeback Mountain isn't a 'gay cowboy' movie - it's an incredibly touching and heart-wrenching film about two people who love each other more than they or their world can handle.
Ang Lee and his actors have put together the most gut-wrenchingly beautiful film i have ever seen. The way Ang uses the sights and sounds of his amazing settings, the earnest performances of the leads that make you forget who they are off-screen, the conclusion that you don't want to acknowledge is approaching...these factors and more combine to create a story of so much love and beauty and sadness that I, for one, cried (and think crying in Beaches but times 10) from 15 minutes before until 15 minutes after the end of the film.
Irrepressibly beautiful. Thanks.
