Screendaily loves it.
The film’s profile will be fuelled by the high powered cast of young Hollywood A-listers led by Tobey Maguire, Jake Gyllenhaal and Natalie Portman, each arguably delivering career-best work.
Variety like it but think the original is better.
Still, that cast largely impresses. Portman has rarely been more movingly subdued.
The Hollywood Reporter has a similar take.
Portman’s Grace isn’t in charge to the degree she might be as the new head of the household. This comes mostly from the writing, which makes her role largely reactive, but the actress glides through scenes too superficially, not leaving a distinct impression.
Pittnews are quite positive.
Regardless, “Brothers” is a must-see exploration of family, grief and war. Move over “Twilight: New Moon,” because Hollywood can obviously make quality films for adults and perhaps should make them more often.
Stay tuned for more.
