CNN Review
Quad and I went Monday - actually, we got to go a SAG screening of it with Heath Ledger, Anne Hathaway, Michelle Williams, and Ang Lee for a Q&A afterwards. I was amazed. Just amazed. This is going to be a real career-changing move for Ledger, and only to the good. It doesn't hurt that he's adorable, but mainly it's the acting. Wow.
The part that was the most impressive to me is the handling of the physical intimacy - it felt REAL. There wasn't anything showy about it, like you might see in the average hetero sex scene. And they didn't flinch, either - they displayed real, raw emotion, and they went for it. It was wonderful to see this, I really enjoyed it so much.
Seen it yet? Thoughts/opinions? If you happen to be gay/non-hetero, how do you feel about the sex scenes and the relationship as it was depicted? Was it real enough? Actually, it would be interesting to hear those opinions from everyone.
If you haven't put it on your list of movies to see.... do that.
