Brothers (2004). A tour de Force of acting, direction, editing, and camera work. No over the top gadgets need be implemented to unravel this wonderfully believable flick of a family whose chair is kicked out from underneath them. The story is about putting the pieces back together, that intangible glue that is either present or not, whose presence is a requisite salve for a familial rent. And just when things begin to heal, the unthinkable happens. As stated, every aspect of this flick comes together perfectly. From grandparents to the young children, the acting was top-notch. They must have a film school in kindergarten. The direction was more than competent. The editing: sublime. The camera work was busy and intense, with close-ups that divulged that which cannot be told. The score was always there for emotional support. A wonderful watch that is probably too much for Hollywood and its sheep-like audience. Merci beaucoup.
