Saw it with the missus and we both agreed (not a common experience): the best movie we've seen in a long time, certainly the best of this year (caveat: we haven't seen Capote, Grizzly, or Squid yet).
Heath Ledger deserves all the acclaim he's receiving. He's one of the few actors that can hold your attention seemingly without moving or saying a word. This is Oscar level acting.
Jake G, of whom I'm not a fan, is perfectly cast and does a splendid job, as well.
Both of the wives and the daughers are terrific, especially Ennis's oldest daughter.
This film astounds because in three genres, gay/Western/love story, it refuses to use even one cliché.
Heretofore, I wasn't an admirer of Ang Lee's talents, neither appreciating The Hulk nor The Ice Storm--- in fact, I dislike them both.
In B M, he's climbed to the pinnacle of directorial skill.
Don't go expecting to be led by the nose or have self-righteous speeches thrown at you. This is a quiet movie that will throw you as hard as any bronco could.
