I was warned that there wasn’t much to this film and I have to agree. It took me a while to get into it… through most of it I was thinking “yeah so?”. Overall, it was beautiful to watch, the scenery was amazing, the acting was great but the story basically sucked. I think that if it wasn’t for the controversy then none of us would have even heard of this film.

I was looking forward to seeing this movie for a long time & was pretty disappointed at the end. I felt like it was long and very uneventful. I was expecting it to be a great breakthrough movie, it fell very very short. btw, it was based off of a woman’s SHORT story.

I wasn’t expecting to enjoy this as much as I did. I thought it was very well executed and I loved how ugly they both were at times. Some of the smaller performances were wonderful; Lurene on the phone with Ennis after Jack’s death; Jack’s parents in that crazy house. Lovely.
