Heart Wrenching and Powerful
Posted by TiffaCupCake on 27th May 2009
It would have gotten 5 stars from me, but truthfully "Philadelphia" was better, but compared to "Brokeback Mountian" I think this will appeal more to the masses.
Sean Penn is brilliant in his role, but he is not the only shining star in this movie. All of his supporting actors were well cast, both in appearance and in talent. I was pleasantly surprises at what lengths the filmmakers went to recreate this true story.
Powerful, sad, and enlightening. If you are a crier, have a box of Kleenex ready.
