Harvey S. Karten is a member of NY Film Critics Online and gives BBM a C+:  “Speaking of flirting, “Brokeback Mountain” has been called a “gay cowboy” movie, which it is, but thematically it’s more. Its principal theme is a common one in literature and cinema, the frustration that arises when people are unwilling or unable to express their true feelings. You repress who you are to such an extent that your life turns into what one character says in Henry Jaglom’s “Going Shopping”: “If you don’t do what you are meant to do and avoid taking risks, you’re destined to live with a life of Thursdays.”
