Amazon.com:
Big Eden has won the audience awards at just about every gay and lesbian film festival there is. Henry (Arye Gross) is an artist living in New York but still carrying a torch for the guy he had a crush on in high school. When his grandfather has a stroke, Henry returns to his Montana hometown, Big Eden, where he rediscovers friends he hasn't seen in years. His high school crush has since married, had children, and divorced--and seems ready to take some very different steps with his life. Big Eden is one of those implausibly tolerant towns where lesbians kiss each other in public and old coots in cowboy hats try to play matchmaker with bashful queers. Still, it's this sweet warmth in Big Eden that has made it a festival crowd-pleaser. --Bret Fetzer

- Big Eden is a BIG accomplishment in human storytelling.
Although I saw "Big Eden" for the first time over 12 months ago, it is a film which resonates - long, long after the closing credits have rolled. I fell in love with everything about this film. It is a piece of beautiful storytelling captured through an extraordinary ensemble cast of characters who bring home the qualities so vital and true in human relationships. The themes are universal, but the fact that this film may appeal to people who appreciate the LGBT genre only makes me want to applaud ... Read More

- I had higher expectations
Unfortunately, I expected more about the movie. Scenery is great and actors' performances are good. The plot could be better worked.

- The perfect gay fairy tale, wonderfully told
I'd heard about this movie for years, and finally rented it for myself.

The premise is a fable, in that the main character returns to the (wonderful) Montana small-town he grew up in and none of the people there are bothered that he's gay. In fact, they rise to the occasion of matchmaking and encouraging the greater good of romance.

Who could resist the idea of having the freedom to simply be yourself, and to have people see it for love instead of always fixating on it as something ... Read More

- Better than Brokeback
Warning! This movie is not perfect, but it is a fictional story so just go with it. I have only two complaints. One is the lack of chemistry between Henry and Pike. Hardly a deal-breaker, but it would have been nice to see just a little more.
The other complaint is that LONG kissing scene at the end. Here is how I would have shot that scene:

I would have used a wider angle so that you could see the supportive and approving looks from the other couples dancing. After all, the other ... Read More

- Yeah, it's that good.
I can't tell you anything others haven't said about this movie before.
1. A movie I could watch (and did) with my parents. And children.
2. A stand out movie because it's not about circuit party boys, shirtless hunks, and other stereotypes.
3. Feels a little like Northern Exposure- but isn't quirky- it's just assuming ONE thing.
4. That one thing? That a small community in Montana really doesn't have any problems at all with the fact that some of the city residents are gay. In fact, ... Read More
