Synopsis
The story of two young men, Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist, a Wyoming ranch hand and a rodeo cowboy, who meet in the summer of 1963 sheepherding in the harsh, high grasslands of contemporary Wyoming and form an unorthodox yet life-long bond--by turns ecstatic, bitter and conflicted.

Critics' reviews
- "Few films have captured so acutely the desolation of frustrated, repressed passion"
- "'Brokeback Mountain' aspires to an epic sweep and achieves it, though with singular intimacy and grace."
- "Gently unfolds into an epic, heartbreaking love story that's far greater than the sum of its parts"
- "Isn't for everyone, but for those who are not bothered by the homosexual relationship, it offers a study in yearning, love, and loss"
- "This slow and stoic movie, hailed as a gay Western, feels neither gay nor especially Western: it is a study of love under siege"
