Outstanding, must see movie of the year

Rating: 10/10 (6 February 2006)

It is easy to see why Brokeback Mountain is receiving rave reviews and is being showered (and rightly so) with awards. This is simply one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhall are without doubt outstanding, with the supporting cast giving some great performances, notably Michelle Williams who must be heading for stardom. Ang Lee is a director of the highest calibre, who takes you on the most wonderful and sumptuous journey, whereas a lesser mortal would have made an absolute pigs ear of this!! I can't recommend this movie highly enough and if you only go to the cinema once this year, this is the movie to see. I enjoyed it so much I bought the soundtrack (and I don't like country and western music!!!)
