Critic Reviews for Brothers

Although Brothers is not a first-rate film, it informs us about the after-effects of war and is worth seeing while we wait for better ones to come along.

... subtly yet brilliantly captures one soldier's fight to end the war in his mind months after leaving the battlefield.

Anyone fond of Danish director Susanne Bier's 2004 original should steer clear of this ill-advised though faithful remake by Jim Sheridan.

Despite strong performances from the leads, when it comes to pacing and power, it's the Danish original that edges it. Still, a sturdy and affecting remake that brings a powerful story to an even wider audience.

It takes two-thirds of the film for any scene of real emotional truth or power to emerge - and by then we're lost.

Audience Reviews for Brothers
-
Oct 01, 2013An incredibly powerful and heart wrenching drama, thanks to the amazing and beautiful performances of the 3 main leads - Tobey Maguire, Natalie Portman and Jake Gyllenhaal, and the great supporting cast. The film comes to an emotional climax that is so electrifying, leaving one deeply drawn into the lingering emotional exhaustion so well delivered by Tobey Maguire.Chrisanne C Super Reviewer

Jun 15, 2013In this movie, Tobey Maguire doesn't look old enough (or hot enough) to be Natalie Portman's husband. Also this is not 1950.Jake Gyllenhaal should do more than just "kiss" Natalie Portman. Come on, Hollywood!Juli R Super Reviewer

Oct 22, 2012I can't even imagine being Sam Cahill and going through what he did. This is a powerful movie and necessarily is left unfinished.Red L Super Reviewer

May 28, 2012Excellent. I didn't think I would enjoy this film, but I ended up loving it. It was great from beginning to end, and every cast member is just perfect. Gyllenhaal and Portman both give great performances, and Tobey Maguire pulls off the best performance of his career, bringing out emotions and playing a character type that was otherwise foreign to him before this film...and totally makes up for Emo-Peter in Spider Man 3.Stephen S Super Reviewer
