Summary - Perfect 5.0

Amazing movie, controversially lost the Best Picture Oscar to ‘Crash’ (another fine movie.) The torrid love story of two cowboys, we follow Ennis and Jack down a path of love, apprehension, confusion, and passionate anger. You will not find a happy ending here, I highly recommend you bring tissues. I defy you not to tear up at the end of this movie.

Acting - Perfect 5.0

Film - Perfect 5.0

Beautiful, sweeping scenery compliments the story immaculately.

Edge - Horrid 3.6

One character picks up a prostitue (though they just walk off, nothing is shown) Topless women, non-explicit sex (both heterosexual and homosexual) they seem to keep most of their clothes on during these scenes. Topless men, one of the male characters is fully naked and shown from behind (though he is only cleaning up) A fist fight A character is beaten to death with a tire iron. Image of a dead body. They're cowboys in the sixties, the language is rather crude. Some allusions to sex, one short scene of very crude talk about women, and frequent swearing.

Reality - Natural 1.0

Very natural. If they’d have said it was based on a true story I wouldn’t have thought twice. (Though it is based on a short work of fiction.)
