I didn’t enjoy it, and I’m not going to see it.

I didn’t like it. I don’t like melodrama. All the stupid music swells of that same stupid song.
It does have one great scene. Whe Ennis goes to Jack’s parents and he is in Jack’s old room.

I was underwhelmed, perhaps because I was expecting more. The scenes with Jack’s parents and with Jack and his father in-law were really good.

And thank god for that. What a horrible drippy movie that was.

I liked Kiss of the Spider Woman. I don’t remember anything about the plot, but I do remember that after watching it, for the first time I (thought) I understood (a teensy bit) about same sex attraction. The movie was effective, for me anyway.
davenportavenger, I was roundly criticized on the SDMB for not just “not enjoying”, but actively disliking this movie. That’s not to say there aren’t elements I don’t appreciate, but overall? I hated it. If you’re so inclined, dig up the older thread from the time of the movie’s release for some of the reasons. Long story short? In a film about forbidden love, I think I’m supposed to root for the lovers to get together, and I didn’t. I wanted Ennis to get some therapy and Jack to find a much nicer guy to settle down with.

Eh?
We rented this today. Unfortunately, haven’t had the chance to watch it. I’ll report back tomorrow after viewing.
