Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of Brokeback Mt., but I saw a screeng of this film at the SF Gay and Lbian Film Ftival tonight and loved as much as BBM and some ways appreciated more. For my money the actg (wh avowed heterosexuals playg the gay rol, as BBM) was more nvcg, the kissg more natural, the sex scen extremely sexy and movg; another tone the realistic portrayal of gay love and sex.
