I've got to admit, seeing the trailer well over a month ago, I was sort of giggling. I'm straight, obviously, but couldn't possibly have expected such a breathtaking and beautiful love story.

It took me a while to come to terms with these two cowboys falling in love with each other, but as the film progressed, it gathered strength. Scene after scene. In the end I wound up in tears.

The acting is top notch, Larry McMurtry's and Diana Ossana's screenplay pitch perfect and Ang Lee is doing his best directing to date. I wish everyone would throw their prejudices aside and go see the film. It'll be a wonderful experience, despite the heartbreaking storyline.

Bubble was a pleasant experience with a solid script, great performances and sharp direction. With echoes from Aki Kaurismäki's work, Soderbergh gives us a intimate movie which borderlines between a tragicomedy and a mystery tale.

I expected the low budget to show, but this movie was absolutely beautifully shot and I still don't believe that the equipment fit in one van... The actors were very good, and it's hard to believe they weren't professionals.

All in all, a very good film which I plan to view several times. I am left eagerly awaiting the next movie in Steven Soderbergh's series of low-budget movies shot in America.
