A beautiful film, but it's also a troubled one.

Reviews for Two Brothers
Top CriticTwo Brothers may not be a great movie, but it's an unusually diverting episode of Wild Kingdom.
06/25/04
Top CriticI don't know if people will still watch movies like Two Brothers, but I'm glad someone is still making them.
06/25/04
Brothers can't avoid the sappy Disney touches -- even though it comes from Universal.
06/25/04
The kids are going to love it.
06/25/04
Two Brothers isn't a sequel to the 1988 nature hit The Bear, yet it feels like one. It suffers from the lack of inspiration that plagues many second chapters, and it attempts to broaden the original concept to diminished effect.

Top CriticYou don't have to be a cat-lover to fall in love with the cuddly young tigers who star in Two Brother.
06/25/04
Top CriticAlthough special effects and careful editing pitch in, the wild-kingdom authenticity on display is an astonishing achievement.
06/25/04
Top CriticIt is a good thing the tigers at the center of Two Brothers give such strong performances. Without them, the movie would be a lifeless bore.
06/25/04
Two Brothers is the kind of movie that makes me optimistic for the future of family films.
06/25/04
Whenever Annaud focuses on the tigers, the wordless action is beautifully shot and amazing to watch.
06/25/04
If you've seen Annaud's 1989 film The Bear, you'll know what to expect.
06/25/04
A magnificent spectacle that transcends movie genres.
06/25/04
Two Brothers is not as brilliant as Annaud's triumphant 1989 nature film The Bear, but it is still a magical family adventure.
06/25/04
Two Brothers is an odd crossbreed: documentary-style nature film, broad comedy, environmental sermon and Disney wannabe. But the awesome aww-power of its irresistible tiger cubs smooths its unevenness.
06/25/04
Top CriticThere are a few cute 'n' cuddly moments -- all nonhuman, mind you -- and, this being a kids movie, there's little doubt that everything will be okay in the end. But boy, getting to that end is a real bear.
06/25/04
Those looking for a heartwarming, funny and adventurous story about wild animals will certainly find it in Two Brothers.
06/25/04
An enjoyable, Kipling-esque adventure.
06/25/04
Top CriticOne of the better live-action, family-oriented dramas in recent memory.
06/25/04
Two Brothers isn't perfect, but it brings us close to tigers in ways that allow us to observe their behavior.
