It's a slick, ambitious movie that doesn't always nail all the many moods and themes it's after. But the actors give it force and depth.

Reviews for Agnes and His Brothers
1 - 9 (sorted by date)
Top CriticThe film's outrageousness would be more palatable if leavened with more wit, or if the characterizations possessed more nuances.
07/18/06
Top CriticWriter-director Oskar Roehler spends all his energy on cataloging ''outrageous' behavior, and none on giving the transgressions any meaning.
06/24/06
Top CriticIn shuttling between drama and farce, more than a few balls get dropped.
06/09/06
Top CriticThere's fierce energy and -- thanks to the performances -- affecting emotion in the movie that almost makes you forget that Rainer Werner Fassbinder told a similar story much better 28 years ago with In a Year with 13 Moons.
06/09/06
Top CriticAbout halfway through, however, the story takes on more than it can handle, turning contrived and unbelievable in the process.
06/09/06
Top CriticWhenever he takes the time to line up his toxic arrows, usually with the help of a compellingly squirmy Bleibtreu, he hits the bull's-eye.
06/09/06
Top CriticThe feverish libidos wreaking emotional havoc in Oskar Roehler's infantile sex comedy are a quintessentially Germanic mixture of kinky, obsessive and sentimental.
06/08/06
Top CriticPainfully literal/ironic soundtrack choices add to the general unpleasantness, and the nods to Fassbinder's great In a Year of 13 Moons only emphasize what this scattershot satire most decidedly is not.
