Brothers

When an indie drama comes to town and disappears in a week or two, this usually is a sign I'll love it. Such was the case with In the Bedroom and so today with Brothers, which I saw on cable after missing its brief visit. A powerful first rate film, which works because it takes no cheap shots, no overblown choices, and is driven by strong subtext. My favorite film of last year, it turns out.

Now to see the Danish film on which this is based.
