Surprisingly good

Rating: 9/10 (17 December 2006)

I rented this film months and months after most people saw with the expectation it was not going to be my type of film at all. My best fried had seen it at the cinema and she had said it was crap...but i thought id see for myself. I have to admit at the start of the film i didn't really see the big OMG ITS AMAZING ness. but then it captured me. the acting was amazing.. especially heath ledger. his performance made the movie. as a teenage girl it also helped that heath and Jake were both gorgeous! i cried so much at the end when i found out jack had died.. talk about unexpected. and then cried so much when Ennis got the shirt. this film is absolutely amazing, the gay scenes are done so sensitively it couldn't possibly offend anyone, and its one of the most heartfelt films iv ever seen. well done to all involved for making such a top film!
