Reviews for My Brother
1 - 10 (sorted by source)
A moralistic black drama that makes its points with a heavy hand and unconvincing story developments.
03/24/07
Top CriticMy Brother is a brave little film, with the emphasis on little. Shot on a shoestring, it lacks the polish of many indie efforts but compensates with bold casting and a big heart.
03/16/07
Top CriticHas no shortage of heart, but it has been so clumsily organized and falls back so often on clichéd storytelling that any early goodwill quickly morphs into resentment.
04/05/07
[A] torpid, independently made urban melodrama.
03/15/07
My Brother is brimming with would-be life lessons. But the movie goes in so many directions, and follows through on so few of them, that all it transmits is a vague glow. It's watered-down chicken soup for the soul.
03/15/07
Its earnest tone, moving orchestral score and strong cast carry it past the rough patches.
03/16/07
Story loses momentum in a wave of heavy-handed messages.
03/16/07
A young man takes an awfully long time to discover what the audience already knows -- that his disabled brother is the most precious thing in his life -- in My Brother.
03/20/07
What starts as a taut urban crime drama quickly sags into lurid after-school-special sentimentality.
