5/5
"It has the simplicity and clarity of a fable, wedded to the gnarled and taciturn physical realism of the Western."  eFilmCritic.com  Rob Gonsalves

A-
"By seemingly renouncing overt politics, it makes a case for tolerance and understanding far more effectively than a film with a more direct agenda."  Flipside Movie Emporium  Rob Vaux

B
"It is up to date in its version of forbidden love because its conflict is based on one of the last socially-sanctioned forms of discrimination."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

A-
"A good film should be able to transcend cultural and social mores and lose the viewer in the story with both empathy and sympathy and "Brokeback Mountain" does it."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford

5/5
"Quiet mastery of 'the look that speaks volumes'"  JWR  S. James Wegg

3/4
"Lingered with me for days, though more for its noteworthy performances and breathtaking cinematography than for its divisive same-sex subject matter."  Charlotte Weekly  Sean O'Connell

F
"A jaundiced portrait of maleness in crisis… extending not only to… the central characters, but also to the validity of manhood as exemplified by every other male character in the film."  Decent Films Guide  Steven D. Greydanus

10/10
"A powerful, tormented exploration of the masculine myth of the American cowboy, filled with haunting, heartfelt anguish."  Modamag.com  Susan Granger

2.5/4
"Heath Ledger's extraordinary. . . though Lee's passion for this project seems several degrees cooler."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw

4/4
"Rarely can you find a film that is this honest, raw and emotional. Brokeback Mountain shows us that love knows no boundaries."  Oscar Guy  Wesley Lovell

"Click here to see review"  Wolf Entertainment Guide  William Wolf
