It is such a shame that this movie is not released in DVD in US yet despite its all American production. However, it is definitely worth waiting for to watch. To appreciate the movie fully, I would suggest you read the book first in all its full glory. Have a box of tissue nearby because it will rend your heart. Then you can appreciate the movie in all its beautiful setting. The cast is fantastic. I am so captivated by the gorgeous A list young actors who play the leads. They play the awkward boys experiencing their first love against a difficult environment believeably. The only improvement I would have made is to put in more of the intimate conversations between the two boys from the book & stick to the book's ending more closely.
I have read the book 5x & watched this movie 3x. If you are a romantic at heart, you should definitely give the book & movie a try.

So let me get this straight. Boy is raped by his father, boy falls in love, boy gets raped, boy gets murdered, father goes free. That about sum it up? This movie is totally unsatisfying. The boy never gets to confront his father with what he's done. The mother does nothing until after her son is dead. I mean, what is this? And we don't know what happens to the boy's rapist/murderer either. Does he just go free? Well, at least the ghost of the boy gets to haunt his boyfriend and they live happily ever after. Rubbish.

When I read the book I considered it one of the best I had ever read and I can say the same for the film. Beautifully photographed, great acting and one of the most faithful adaptations of a story to the screen since Brokeback Mountain. Strongly recommended!
