His Brother review by TB
Good Drama
(1) of (1) members found this review helpful.
A moving drama about two brothers, who manage to say what haven't been said before, however, it took the older brother's severe illness (thrombocytopeni - it seems)to get to that point. Very European chamber play, that doesn't shy away from showing uncomfortable scenes in the hospital.

His Brother review by GS
Depressing, but brave performances
(0) of (0) members found this review helpful.
Somewhat depressing drama that deals with two estranged brothers - one gay, one straight - who become close when one contracts a rare blood disease and begins the process of dying. Both performances are terrific, very underplayed but with a sense of melancholy and underlying tension but the film as a whole does little to lift the viewer above the dark subject matter. A few touches of light relief would have been welcome. Over all it’s a two-hander of intense intimacy and anyone who has ever lost someone close will feel it the deepest.
