One not to be missed

Rating: 9/10 (18 January 2006)

The movie has opened in the UK this week. Ang Lee has given us a masterpiece. Great performances from Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal. Ledger should get a nomination for best actor at the Oscars and Gyllenaal for supporting actor. A best actress nomination is also on the cards for Michelle Williams.
It's a gentle story of relationships. We see the two male characters fall in love, then find girls and get married, have families and eventually meet up again many years later. Beautifully filmed against the stunning backdrop of Wyoming. A sensitive subject expertly handled by Lee who gives us a surprising ending that makes the movie unforgettable. One not to be missed.
