A gloriously raw love story that pulls no punches.

Rating: 10/10 (26 June 2017)

I am willing to be an unabashed fan of this movie. It is great.
Of all the great love stories that I have seen in movies and in plays, I can't think of a story that has spoken to me more intensely than Brokeback. Ever since rewatching it a few days ago, I have been playing back the scene when Jack says "Sometimes I miss you so much that I can hardly stand it" over and over again. It's just that good.
Tragic. Tender. Terrifyingly beautiful. From the natural beauty of Wyoming to its rural poverty, the American West has never seemed more full of brutality or love.
One of the great love stories of our time, Brokeback should be relevant for far more than the "gay cowboy" closet.
(I have seen this several times, most recently on June 22, 2017)
