    New York Times' Stephen Holden writes : "The lonesome chill that seeps through Ang Lee's epic western, "Brokeback Mountain," is as bone deep as the movie's heartbreaking story of two cowboys who fall in love almost by accident. ...." It is a great screen performance, as good as the best of Marlon Brando and Sean Penn."

  • The New Yorker's Anthony Lane says: "The new Ang Lee film, “Brokeback Mountain,” is a love story that starts in 1963 and never ends. The first scene is a master class in the dusty and the taciturn, with gusts of wind doing all the talking. "

    "This slow and stoic movie, hailed as a gay Western, feels neither gay nor especially Western: it is a study of love under siege."
