Review:
What a fantastic movie.
When I heard about it, I figured it would be an okay movie, and then everyone started saying how great it was, and that it was up for an Oscar.. Then I just had to see it.

And it is every bit as good as everyone says.
It is a beautiful, sad, heart-wrenching movie.
Possibly one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen.

I don't think I could say enough good things about this movie.
I definately recommend it. It will completely suck you into the story and you will feel every emotion and struggle these two lovers endure.

They couldn't have picked any better actors than Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger to bring out the full potential of this movie.

An absolutely brillant film that everyone needs to see.

In the USA this movie has a rated R (have to be 18), in Sweden it has a '7' .. which means 7 year olds are allowed to see it.
Banned in Malaysia. (But what isn't?)
