Finally got to see it last night. Amazing, brilliant, wonderful film.
Wonderfully shot and very atmospheric, the actors were fantastic (although admittedly Heath Ledger could have done with subtitles at times), the whole story inspired. And yes, its going to get criticism because those who haven't seen it will say its only getting credit because its the 'gay cowboy movie', but honestly, its a great film. Jake Gyllenhaal was a revelation - absolutely superb. I can't believe he hasnt been nominated for a Golden Globe - he shone throughout. Michelle Williams was also fantastic.
I would post more, but I don't want to spoil it!!
Go and see it.
BBC Review - very good Another very very good review - captures it perfectly
