Brokeback Mountain Review

Towleroad has a Brokeback Mountain review (he loved it!).

Lee’s adaptation is everything I wanted it to be — stunning visually, emotionally solid, true to the original story — but at its core it expresses a knowledge of the secrecy and the gut-wrenching pain that gays experience when required to abide by society’s heterosexual models for fear that their true feelings, if exposed, will engender shame, humiliation, or violence. This film begins in the early 60’s but we all know that even today there are men who live entire lives in the closet, never able to allow life its full expression.

Be warned: there are spoilers in this review.
