1 hr 59 mins
Brother is a moving drama about a young man forced in a sense to be a patriarch – he protects his younger brother whenever possible – but is also a vulnerable human being in his own right, one who knows about the potential danger around every corner.
This complex film unpacks Black grief in a way rarely seen on the screen. The way it takes its toll on loved ones and an entire community.
“There are so many perceptive details in Brother, from its mesmerizing sound design and beautiful score to the way Virgo captures the geography and feeling of his setting. There’s such gracefulness to the filmmaking as it cuts back and forth across time and builds like a thriller.”
