IMHO REVIEW :
saw this the other night and it was pretty good. didn't get the full experience as i had to see it on two different nights to watch the whole thing (damn you netflix!) as the first dvd stopped playing mid ways. :(

the storytelling, the acting, the cinemontagraphy were very well done. the overall story was good as well. the only reason i didn't love the movie was i kept thinking - "what a bunch of assholes - what about the gals they married? what about their kids?"

i understand the movie was trying to show the shittiness of the cowboy life style and how homosexuality is a big no-no which will incure murder - but to marry someone to hide the fact your gay.... i don't know, it just didn't seem right to me - and because i was caught up on this one aspect i didn't enjoy the movie as much as i might have.

again - storytelling fantastic, acting super duper, the cinemontography top notch, just that one annoying aspect that bugged the hell outta me.

bottomline : if you're not homophobic (there are make out scenes) and enjoy good storytelling then this is a good movie to rent.
