Brokeback Mountain (2005)
This movie will haunt you
Utterly Heartbreaking and Real. Don't miss this one, but don't go expecting 1. A Feel good movie with an uplifting ending or 2. A film that titillates.
I woke at 4 AM after seeing this film and couldn't get it out of my mind. A friend who saw the film with me had the same experience, except she woke up at 5.
As I pondered the film I kept thinking "If only he had..." or "I just wish she had..." or "If only the daughter had said..." etc. If any one of those things had happened it would have been a more emotionally satisfying film - but it would not have been real.
As much as things change - they still stay the same.
Loggerheads (2005)
Wow - this is what Sundance is all about!
Caught this film at Sundance, what a treat! What a great use of nonlinear story lines subtly revealed to the attentive viewer. Kip Pardue takes another brave role and excels - he's played gay several times and never shies from controversial roles how sexy is that! Bonnie Hunt was amazing, her pain and longing were palpable hard to imagine another woman in the role although apparently she signed on after another actress dropped out. I certainly hope this film finds major release because it's heads and tails above most of the shlock Hollywood releases. Motherhood, Family, and Sexuality intertwine in this wonderful film!
