Not quite awful but we sat through it waiting for the reasons why it won so many prizes.....perhaps Americans are surprised at the reality of gay love....we had Oscar Wilde and Dorian Gray - he did the whole thing much better and that was 100 years ago! Nice Sheep tho!
Perhaps it is purely and simply in a world of drab americanisation that any two people who have a relationship not based on guns, toys and special effects is seen as so special that it deserves Oscars. In the real world (Europeans like Almodovar etc) I feel this film would be reduced to the tawdry tat category and rapidly forgotten.
I really did like the sheep tho! I can imagine in Wales the film would have been a huge success and perhaps, New Zealand, although, I've heard in the Lake district they prefer a bit more personality!
