My wife and I saw this yesterday. It's very well done and we both enjoyed it, though I don't think it's quite the revelatory movie it's been made out to be.

A couple of quibbles:

I never quite got their initial attraction to each other, and think they consumated their relationship too soon. Spoiler: Their first night sharing the tent?
I understood Jack's motives, but not Ennis'. This undermined the authenticity of their early passion for me. I found the film much more satisfying, when it explored their later lives, both together and apart.
That said
