Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

It is honestly by far my favorite lgbt movie, the actors the chemistry the details and obviously THE HAPPY ENDING. This movie is so perfect and enjoyable.

I just now got through with this movie, and I am in tears, crying, smiling, and blown away! I said it the minute I saw the sheep, British Brokeback, but no! It's so much more! I loved Brokeback Mountain, but this took a totally different turn, concentrating on these two characters and the subtle extra character of the location. You felt everything they felt, saw things through their eyes! It was an epic masterpiece! BRAVO!

This is not a gay film, but it is a masterful film about the transmission of love . Johnny, the main character just happens incidentally to be gay, a fact that is never hidden, nor challenged but is as grudgingly accepted as are other characteristics such as drunkenness by the other characters he relates to. Relates is hardly an appropriate term for the displays of his anger, frustration and resentment that is largely evident through his inability to acknowledge and communicate his feelings on his path to self-destruction. Enter the low status itinerant worker who becomes the catalyst that displays an alternative role model to Johnny as they by and large go about the mundanities of working on the farm. The magic woven by the quiet presence of this stranger is Shakespearian in its impact, with Biblical parallels. The love that has lain beneath the surface of each of the main characters emerges achingly slowly with subtlety and inevitability . As sure as the sun insinuates itself onto the frozen fields, the heads lift, the eyes open and the hearts beat louder than the ever present wind. Love is awakened, for the animals for the previously hidden beauty of the harsh landscape, and for each of the characters for each other. Each in their own way they begin to communicate the care they feel for everything and everyone around them. And not least is Johnnys salvation through discovering his repressed feelings for the farm the animals his disabled father, his stoic grandmother and his lover. But most of all he discovers self-love. And they all walk taller. This is not a gay film . It is a film about hope and it is portrayed on screen with as much love and as surely as if it was a love poem.

First I loved the basic and down to earth people it depicts, these are a twenty something son (gay) and his stroke afflicted father and aging mother. These people are just so plain spoken and not over acted. The film even shows an initial prejudice toward their young Romanian farm hand, that with time seems to flame, smolder and then calm to a quiet acceptance.The love affair seems in the beginning to be a trial and error affair where each man is unsure what his worth is to the other. Indeed, the climax begins when the farm hand leaves, father has yet another stroke and the son John Saxby, realizes he is in love. This I can tell you for gay men is hardly a trivial judgement. Much gay sex is simply recreational and non loving on an emotional level. I felt the film ended too soon, because great depth could have come here. However recalling the denial and tragic ending of Broke Back, I honestly hoped these people could grow in love for each other at least for a while. Excellent film.
