Critics Consensus

A beautiful, epic Western, Brokeback Mountain's love story is imbued with heartbreaking universality thanks to moving performances by Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Ledger and Gyllenhaal deserve nothing but praise for their brave, sensitive portrayals of troubled souls...

Outlook

What is remarkable about the film is how it doesn't politicise the homosexuality theme, transcends it to become the story of two people in doomed love. The two lead characters are wonderfully delineated.

Rated: 3/4 •

Newsweek

Brokeback Mountain is in no rush. Its emotional impact builds slowly, its rhythms in tune with the countryside--the rugged grandeur of the mountains; the arid, bleak vistas of backwater Western towns.

The Queer Gaze (Podcast)

20 years on, Brokeback Mountain remains a milestone of queer cinema. There's an interesting discussion to be had about the casting of straight actors and the depiction of intimacy, but the film's score and tragic ending remain iconic

Rated: 4/5 •

Battleship Pretension

It remains a rarely-surpassed high-watermark for both Ledger and Gyllenhaal, who were both nominated (it remains Gyllenhaal鈥檚 only nod), and who each capture something in their characters and something in themselves as actors that seems a tad elusive.

Sure, there are happier gay films out now, ones that involve more queer talent both in front of and behind the camera, but here I am still, clinging onto this masterpiece like Ennis holding onto that damn jacket.

I am incredibly broken by this movie. It's so emotionally moving. I am probably the last person in the world who didn't watch it until now, and oh, I have been missing a masterpiece. I cried like a baby.
