Directed by Ang Lee, rated R, 134 minutes
Brokeback Mountain is a painfully realistic and powerful drama about the lives of two sheep herders, who are forced to hide their the romantic relationship from society. Heath Ledger is truly amazing breaking away from his teen movie image, and delivering an uncompromising and refreshingly honest performance. All of the characters are relatable, and even likable, despite their many flaws, and the story has many moments of beauty amidst all the sadness. Brokeback Mountain has built up a lot of hype and some controversy, but the film really is that incredible, and leaves a lasting and haunting impression. You'll like it if: You like romantic dramas, independent dramas, Heath Ledger, The Last Picture Show or The Ice Storm.
