  • Critics' reviews (6) of Brokeback Mountain

    View all

  • It's a nuanced and complex study of desire, loneliness and the ambiguities swirling beneath the accepted codes of rural life. And, as such, one of the finest movies of the year.

  • BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN is that rare thing, a big Hollywood weeper with a beautiful ache at its center. It's a modern-age Western that turns into a quietly revolutionary love story.

    A different approach from Ang Lee

    I live in Brighton, and there's a big wave of excitement about this film over here, as you can imagine. So obviously I was tempted to be one of the first people to see it. I was skeptical that it would be nothing more than a poor attempt at a love story between two people of the same gender, but I was very mistaken. This film is convincing, tender and warming.

    The story is a hard one to portray, especially for the big screen, but Ang Lee has achieved it beautifully. The film itself is fairly slow moving, but never is it boring.

    It starts in the 1960's, with the story of two poor cowboys looking for employment. They are given the hard task of herding sheep across the Brokeback Mountain, and are thus thrust together through their work which involves living, eating and sleeping on the mountains together.

    They quickly form a friendship, which subtly turns into something more. The story then relays their lives together and apart, and the struggles that their forbidden love creates.

    This story is incredibly convincing, amazingly acted and gripping the whole way through. I am not one to spoil stories so will not say anything more other than to say that everyone must see this film! If not at the cinema, then definitely rent it out. I believe that even those of you less prone to enjoy this sort of genre will atleast recognise the boldness of this film and it's modest portrayal of homosexuality.

    what a load of rubbish

    I found this film to be a lot of hype over winning oscars and other awards. Half way through this film i turned it off found it hard to stay awake.
