FILM REVIEW: Brothers
12.20.09
BROTHERS
Directed by Jim Sheridan
Starring Natalie Portman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Tobey Maguire and Sam Shepard
Review by Seth Rogovoy
In many ways this an old-fashioned, almost conservative family melodrama, a variation on the Cain and Abel story to some extent thinly disguised as a contemporary antiwar flick. But most important, it's a well-wrought, intelligent entertainment driven by stunning performances by all involved, especially Tobey Maguire in his most serious, dramatic role to date, and by the incomparable Natalie Portman, in her first major all-American housewife role, to which she brings old-fashioned movie-star glamour, radiant dignity and impossible beauty (that almost works against her) in the film's most challenging role.
Seth Rogovoy is Berkshire Living's award-winning editor-in-chief and cultural critic, and the author of Bob Dylan: Prophet, Mystic, Poet (Scribner).
