New Yorker

Brothers, the new home-from-the-war film, written by David Benioff and directed by Jim Sheridan, has been made with obvious devotion and sincerity, and I wish I could take it seriously.

Tobey Maguire's jaw seems squarer, his eyes electrified and - as Sam's features harden - like Robert De Niro circa "The Deer Hunter." When Sam snaps - all snarls, snot and spit - Maguire and Jim Sheridan place you in his percussive, throbbing psyche.

Sheridan seems as conflicted as the Cahills about their virtues and failings.

Georgia Straight

Brothers has painful things on the brain, but it's the intimate moments that hit deepest in a story that shifts between the war in Afghanistan and pent-up family angst back in the good old U.S. of A.

A gritty sibling saga offers a strong reinforcement of the reality that, for many returned soldiers, some battle scars never heal.

It takes two-thirds of the film for any scene of real emotional truth or power to emerge - and by then we're lost.
