A Tearful Experience

Rating: 9/10 (4 December 2005)

I've got to admit, seeing the trailer well over a month ago, I was sort of giggling. I'm straight, obviously, but couldn't possibly have expected such a breathtaking and beautiful love story.
It took me a while to come to terms with these two cowboys falling in love with each other, but as the film progressed, it gathered strength. Scene after scene. In the end I wound up in tears.
The acting is top notch, Larry McMurtry's and Diana Ossana's screenplay pitch perfect and Ang Lee is doing his best directing to date. I wish everyone would throw their prejudices aside and go see the film. It'll be a wonderful experience, despite the heartbreaking storyline.
