Brokeback Mountain is ultimately about the paralysis of regret and how it fractures the lives of not just those afflicted by it, but everyone else around them.
Dec 6, 2009
Lee can't tell the difference between criticizing oppression and turning out an oppressed work
Aug 30, 2009
To those open-minded few who watched the film in spite of the themes and or because of its themes ... congratulations, you're proof that humans are still evolving.
Apr 29, 2009
Arguably Ang Lee's best film, this swooning, achingly sad near-masterpiece offers a universal love story that lingers long in the mind.
Nov 21, 2008
If you have the patience to sit through a slow-moving romance and you lack the vanity to be put off by explicit cowboy on cowboy relations, you'll greatly appreciate the light at the end of Brokeback Mountain, a work of art that's more than just a movie.

At times feels as ancient and familiar as any well-worn piece of American legend, even if its content could set John Wayne spinning in his grave.

At its core, Brokeback Mountain is not a gay love story%u2013it is simply a love story.
Feb 28, 2008
It has the simplicity and clarity of a fable, wedded to the gnarled and taciturn physical realism of the Western.
Aug 11, 2007
Annie Proulx's beautiful, delicate short story...has been transformed into a beautiful, delicate movie under the masterly direction of Ang Lee.
Feb 22, 2007
Just a well-made, well-acted melodrama that is quiet and reflective instead of big and bombastic.
Dec 30, 2006
Though presented as a story of thwarted love -- of ache and longing and regrets -- it's ultimately a story about the relationships that shape us -- for better and for worse.
Sep 22, 2006
it could have been real campy, if it weren't so well-crafted as to be Oscar material
Sep 10, 2006
Film with much religious and mystical imagery.
Aug 22, 2006
A gallery of worthy performances, crisp direction and a quietly graceful script make Brokeback Mountain something of a landmark in Hollywood's 2005 slate of movies.
Aug 20, 2006
A gorgeous meditation on the sorrow of finding everything you want and not knowing how to keep it.
