Everything everyone said it was and more.

Rating: 10/10 (6 February 2006)

I cant' say one negative thing about this movie. Extraordinary only begins the long list of superlatives I could use. It has to be the most in-depth character studies on screen that I can recall in many years. Lee, McMurty and Ossana got every bit from Proulx story and got to the very core of these two hurting souls. I couldn't believe the dead silence throughout the film! Except for those moments when one had to laugh or cheer. And some of the visual effects like the electric carving knife made the story that much more real. The combination of director, writers, cinemetographers, actors, and a story of such deep felt love makes one helluva unforgettable film. Rock Solid! What would Ang Lee do with "Front Runner"? As a middle-aged gay man, I know just exactly what Ennis and Jack were going through. I identified with both of them. There wasn't one false second in the entire film. I never in my life thought I would see a movie about two gay men in love that was real. This one is real.
