I saw this movie because I noticed it mentioned on Gay-dot-com, I have to go there to find out about gay & lesbian movies because I can't really find out anywhere else. Being gay and living in rural Missouri you don't get much of your culture given to you very easily. And so far most of the g/l movies I've sought out ended up being mediocre or thinly disguised porn. It's great when you find something like this that actually pushes boundaries with great acting and great direction, and without copping out and becoming porn or giving some obvious gay-rights message. I wasn't going to review this until I read Sean Richard McCarthy's review below. I wish I could go on ranting about that, but as this is a review of the movie and not small mindedness. I will just say that I hope with more great gay & lesbian movies like this, and with more boundaries pushed, people will open their minds a little, and make my life a hell of a lot easier.

This is the first foreign film that I saw and enjoyed. The country and story are beautiful, the people are... odd, and the direction is great. I would recommend this film to almost anyone.

This is one of the best movies I have seen in a long while. The cast is great, Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss both give a superb performance, and Hugo Weaving is very menacing as Agent Smith. The story/plot was a tiny bit hard to follow at times, but not impossible to understand. Excellent and phenomenal special effects... simply, a MUST see.
