United States | Newsweek | "Few films have captured so acutely the desolation of frustrated, repressed passion" | POS |
United States | Austin Chronicle | "It's possible to point to some weak spots in Brokeback but there is no movie this year that has moved my heart more than 'Brokeback Mountain'" | POS |
United States | The Wall Street Journal | "'Brokeback Mountain' aspires to an epic sweep and achieves it, though with singular intimacy and grace." | POS |
United States | New York Daily News | "Gently unfolds into an epic, heartbreaking love story that's far greater than the sum of its parts" | POS |
United States | ReelViews | "Isn't for everyone, but for those who are not bothered by the homosexual relationship, it offers a study in yearning, love, and loss" | POS |
United States | The New Yorker | "This slow and stoic movie, hailed as a gay Western, feels neither gay nor especially Western: it is a study of love under siege" | POS |
United States | The New York Times | "Mr. Ledger magically and mysteriously disappears beneath the skin of his lean, sinewy character. It is a great screen performance, as good as the best of Marlon Brando and Sean Penn" | POS |
United Kingdom | Empire | "The real revelation here is Heath Ledger as the bruised and sometimes brutal Ennis. His tortured secret is the tragedy and the ecstasy of this powerful and moving film" | POS |
United States | LA Weekly | "'Brokeback Mountain' is at once the gayest and the least gay Hollywood film I've seen, which is another way of saying that Lee has a knack for culling universality from the most specific identities" | POS |
United States | Entertainment Weekly | "It's a modern-age Western that turns into a quietly revolutionary love story" | POS |
