Negative Positive
Title: If it hadn't won the Oscar, I could gratefully forget about it completely
Review: I'd give the movie itself 2 stars, for being contrived and shallow and ultimately only making one want to roll one's eyes. One star for then being overrated and unbelievably not only being nominated for Best Picture but actually winning (not to mention over 400 5 star ratings on here (?!). makes me ashamed to be an American. I have seen Brokeback Mountain as well, and while being a very heavy and depressing movie, it is far superior. A much more realistic interweaved vignette style film would be "Brooklyn's Finest". I didn't love that film either, but it isn't a hokey after school special at least.
Is the review positive or negative?
