Movie is the best of the season

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2005)

This movie was phenomenal! I left the movie loving it, but found myself returning to it constantly throughout the following week. You feel the loneliness, sadness, elation, of these characters in every frame of this film. It is not only about a male-male relationship, but in so many ways about relationships period...you see a relationship between two men, husbands and wives, fathers and daughters, husbands and in-laws...but yes, the center of it all is through the men's performances...Heath Ledger blew me away, and Jake Gyllenhall is now in a new level of acting... both of them should be nominated for Oscars..as well as Michelle Williams...in the last few frames, Anne Hathaway's very small part, became another "jewel" in this new favorite film of '05 to me....don't walk, run to see it...
