C. Fuchs quote icon As it stands, it's good, but the ironic thing is that the best moments in Brothers have to do with the young sisters in it.

Tomatometer quote iconIt plays more like a traditional melodrama than the Susanne Bier film that inspired it, but Jim Sheridan's Brothers benefits from rock-solid performances by its three leads.
