Film Reviews by None

In a similar way to 'Eyes Wide Open' 'Yossi and Jagger' runs into very stereotypical ground with the death of one of the gay characters. No one would find this dull cliche appropriate in any other form of love film, so I can only presume that to be gay and Israeli remains taboo. Please don't cuddle up on the sofa for a romantic evening with this film.

This is a very odd western that begins in a slapstick vein, before tightening the tension for the last half hour. Nicholson gives a vintage performance, whilst Brando hams it up eventually declaring love to his favourite horse. It might be worth viewing once to watch Brando on the slide, and Nicholson before his, but it doesn't have the dark edge vital to maintain tension in all that wide-open space.
