Noteworthy because it represents a kind of fevered moviemaking insanity that we rarely see these days.

Reviews for Two Brothers
Top CriticAlthough the lulled pacing of Two Brothers could put an insomniac in slumber land, the film's leading felines are more captivating than most high-paid Hollywood stars.
07/03/04
Teems with life and a rather beautiful simplicity when Annaud focuses squarely on the tiger cubs — but then the humans come crashing in to make a mess of things.
07/02/04
I was put off by the way the movie anthropomorphizes the tigers.
07/01/04
Please take your family to see this rare and marvelous movie.
06/30/04
The tigers are roaring but the movie is boring
06/30/04
Annaud’s tigers are benign.
06/29/04
[It's] a marvel of filmmaking.
06/29/04
Younger viewers won't mind the predictable plot; others willing to overlook the film's flaws will be rewarded by thrilling glimpses into tigers' lives.
06/29/04
This film is a pure delight and is great viewing for young and old alike.
06/28/04
Two Brothers features some amazing wildlife cinematography and those great, almost human performances by the thirty or so tigers that were used to make the film.
06/28/04
... one of the most amazing animal adventure fables ever captured on film.
06/28/04
Top CriticThere's something awfully disturbing about Two Brothers, and it's not the fact that Guy Pearce is in it.
06/28/04
The rare family film that doesn't talk down to audiences, yet never as gripping or moving as one anticipates.
06/28/04
The tiger cub actors are really precious. The same can't be said of the human actors or the script.
06/27/04
Yes, the animals are the stars. But there’s nothing cutesy about “Two Brothers,” an often saddening but entertaining tale with tigers as its stars.
06/27/04
I would have gladly volunteered to lead all the tigers participating in this movie directly into the wilds, just to stop them 'acting' in this slow-moving, heavy-handed drama.
06/25/04
Top CriticPearce and the rest of the human actors seem to be an afterthought, but the film is beautiful, the grown tigers majestic and the cubs utterly adorable.
06/25/04
The movie can be taken as quality children's entertainment ... But the film offers much more than that.
06/25/04
Top CriticImpeccably well-crafted, kid-friendly and downright cuddly.
