The way a film of this nature should be shown

Rating: 10/10 (4 October 2006)

I was over the moon when I saw this movie and the way the story was set out. I thought the idea was going to be torn apart and turned into a cliché but this was far from the truth. The characters were developed giving us a complete understanding of the reasons behind their actions and the story unfolded wonderfully. You even empathised with the character played by Michelle Williams whose distraught facial expressions painted a thousand pictures (either that or she was constipated). The film was acted superbly by the two leading roles and, although it didn't make me shed a tear, it was a mainstream movie the gay population needed people to see and understand. The idea that love is blind and even the most macho of men can find companionship in one another. My only problem with the movie was Jake Gyllenhael's moustache. What was that about? A thumbs up from me!
