OMG I saw this movie last night, and brother let me tell you, the world needs to see this gem.
I cannot understand how it slipped in under the radar. I read some reviews about it that were not favorable as to the acting. I don't know what those people were smoking. I thought the acting and the story was just brilliant.
Not to give anything away you can't already surmise from the trailer, it is a story of a group of men, one in particular, who later on in life have to deal with a gay bashing they perpetrated on a friend of theirs. The story slowly unfolds from minimal flash backs and there is more emphasis on how they have turned out, each of them dealing with their remorse while their lives are impacted in ways they can explain to no one else.
The ending, is just too heartbreaking for words. I think this story will be with me for a long time.
And if you like jazz, you'll love the sound track. The producer says in the commentary that the soundtrack "informs the story" and I wondered if that term had ever been used to describe Brokeback, which it certainly does.
