Reviews for My Brother
| Tomatometer | Critic | Review | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
 2/4 |
Has 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. Full Review |

|
A moralistic black drama that makes its points with a heavy hand and unconvincing story developments. Full Review |

|
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. Full Review |

Story loses momentum in a wave of heavy-handed messages. Full Review |

 3/5 |
Its earnest tone, moving orchestral score and strong cast carry it past the rough patches.

2.5/4 |
My 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. Full Review |

2/5 |
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. Full Review |

What starts as a taut urban crime drama quickly sags into lurid after-school-special sentimentality. Full Review |

[A] torpid, independently made urban melodrama. Full Review |

3.5/4 |
A moving and meaningful melodrama about a blood bond tested by the trials and tribulations of trying to survive in the inner-city. Full Review |
