"Director Ang Lee's movie, from a fine and faithful screenplay by Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana, has already been proclaimed a landmark, a watershed in mainstream movies, the first gay love story with A-list Hollywood stars. But the reason it feels like a breakthrough is that Lee has made it for the right reasons: he recognizes a heartbreaking love story when he sees one. Maybe because he's not an American, the Taiwanese-born director is neither afraid of the material nor impressed with himself for 'daring' to make it. There's neither coyness nor self-importance in 'Brokeback Mountain'--just close, compassionate observation, deeply committed perform-ances, a bone-deep feeling for hardscrabble Western lives. Few films have captured so acutely the desolation of frustrated, repressed passion." David Ansen, Newsweek)
