Review of Brokeback Mountain (2005) by Raymond W — 19 Oct 2012
Led by two moving and powerful performances from Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, Brokeback Mountain is a beautiful, epic western film directed by Ang Lee, who imbues it with so much universality that it's hard not to be connected with these people.
I sometimes felt that the characters were a bit naive and sometimes I got frustrated. The story was often vague, leaving important pieces out to be filled in by the viewer. With a long running time, it seemed a bit drawn out.
Overall, Brokeback Mountain is a moving portrait of forbidden love, and the consequences of time.
