Reviews

Battleship Pretension

Scott Nye

It remains a rarely-surpassed high-watermark for both Ledger and Gyllenhaal, who were both nominated (it remains Gyllenhaal’s only nod), and who each capture something in their characters and something in themselves as actors that seems a tad elusive.

Sure, there are happier gay films out now, ones that involve more queer talent both in front of and behind the camera, but here I am still, clinging onto this masterpiece like Ennis holding onto that damn jacket.

Above all, the performances of Jake Gyllenhall and Heath Ledger lift “Brokeback Mountain” above the ordinary study of male-male friendship and love—repressed, resisted, indulged, debated, and analyzed. It pays dividends in its haunting specificity.

Ledger and Gyllenhaal deserve nothing but praise for their brave, sensitive portrayals of troubled souls...

Battle Royale With Cheese

Richard Schertzer

It’s plain to see that this movie is always going to be relevant in the gay community and there’s a good reason why. It’s unbelievably great.
