ohlabtechguy This is similar to Brokeback Mountain in a few ways. The principle characters are engaged in similar farming/ranching; they are masculine and they fall in love with one another while working together under the wide open sky. The primary differences are in time period, ending and cinematography. The scenes of farm life in GOC are drab, bleak and depressing; whereas, in BM, the scenes are majestic, colorful and uplifting. The ending in BM is sad and the one in GOC is happy. The time period is current in GOC and it is assumed there is less pressure on these sheep blokes to be straight and married. Overall, I liked the picture, but it was hard to understand the dialogue unless they were shouting. The Romanian actor had a thick accent and the Irish actor likewise had a tricky dialect to decipher. In BM, I found it implausible that two masculine, closeted, married gay men would have maintained a long distance affair for 20 years. It felt contrived to set up the emotion ending. In this movie, I found the relationship and ending to be more believable.

mhubbard-54657 The film depicts a young gay British man who is out of the closet. He accepts himself completely. and has anonymous sex, devoid of affection, whenever he can. He lives on the family farm. where his father has been ill. and has lost the ability to manage the place. There are numerous conflicts. To cope with his angst, the young man drinks too way too much. He throws up nearly every morning. A hired hand comes into the picture. and the two eventually begin a sexual relationship. Comparisons to Brokeback are inevitable. The film is emotionally bleak. but beautiful in spots. The dialogue is largely incomprehensible. The male lead learns about love, and is transformed to some degree. Not bad, but I would not see it twice.

Abbass Akkoush Oh God what a masterpiece! loved every single bit of it; the performances, setting, directing, cinematography, the tension, the feelings...just everything! So real, beautiful, & touching. A must see! I feel so emotional right now.

Andres-Camara Esta película es como ver Brokeback Mountain a lo inglés. Me he preguntado toda la película si en esta habría presupuesto para el maquillaje como no lo hubo en aquella.Esta sin embargo se centra en un tramo corto de la vida de los personajes. Es una película creíble. Te mete en la película, si bien, tarda un rato en comenzar, se repite un poco al principio y en la parte del centro también. Luego se encarrila y va como la seda. Eso es lo bueno, si al final se hubiese repetido también, habría aburrido mucho. Aunque creo que a la película le sobran los dos planos finales. Ya está dicho.Los actores están todos estupendos. Hasta los que solo tienen una secuencia está muy bien. Gracias a los actores sigues la película entera.Tiene una fotografía bonita, que te mete en la película. Gracias al clima de Reino Unido, tan gris, la fotografía no tiene planos con mucha luz.Lo que no me gusta mucho es la dirección. No consigue contar la película sin repetir mucho. No sabe poner la cámara nunca. Hace una película que mejora a medida que avanza pero le cuesta.Es una buena opción para pasar casi dos horas.This movie is like watching Brokeback Mountain English. I have asked myself the whole movie if in this there would be a budget for makeup as there was not in that one.This however focuses on a short section of the characters' lives. It is a credible movie. It puts you in the movie, although, it takes a while to start, it repeats a bit at the beginning and in the center part as well. Then he gets on track and goes like silk. That's the good thing, if in the end it had been repeated too, I would have bored a lot. Although I think that the film has two final planes. It's already said.The actors are all great. Even those who only have one sequence are very good. Thanks to the actors you follow the whole movie.He has a pretty picture, which gets you into the movie. Thanks to the climate of the United Kingdom, so gray, photography does not have planes with much light.What I do not like very much is the address. He can not tell the movie without repeating a lot. He does not know how to put the camera ever. It makes a film that improves as it progresses but it costs.It is a good option to spend almost two hours.
