This film starts out in a very mundane and repetitive fashion, but once the two leads come together it starts to unify, and when they had their first kiss I became riveted.
Trevor Wright is mesmerizing and carries this film easily on his shoulders. What makes the film special is the naturalism with which he plays his part, and also the subtle blossoming of the love affair. Brad Rowe was also very good as the gay man trying to be just a little more butch all the time. I was totally moved and enchanted.
That being said, I must disagree that this film is better than Brokeback Mountain. The two can hardly be compared, and why would they be?
