Rating: 4/5 --
Well-acted war drama is too intense for kids.

Common Sense Media
"Brothers" never goes as far as it should.

Critic's Notebook
3 stars out of 4 -- Maguire reveals a coiled ferocity and a convincingly unhinged, haunted quality.
USA Today
Rating: A --
... subtly yet brilliantly captures one soldier's fight to end the war in his mind months after leaving the battlefield.

Reel Talk Online
While Brothers is raw in its realism and loud in its chest-beating, it's still mechanically cold to watch.
Little White Lies
Rating: 3/5 --
A gritty sibling saga offers a strong reinforcement of the reality that, for many returned soldiers, some battle scars never heal.

American Profile
Mr. Sheridan has an especially good touch with children, and the scenes with Ms. Geare and Ms. Madison -- grieving, playing, fussing with each other -- are the finest and truest in the movie.
New York Times
Product Description:
Jim Sheridan's film, adapted from Susanne Bier's 2004 movie, concerns Captain Sam Cahill (Tobey Maguire), a Marine who receives orders to ship out for yet another tour of duty in Afghanistan. But before he leaves his supportive wife, Grace (Natalie Portman), and his two elementary-school-age daughters, Sam picks up his black sheep brother, Tommy (Jake Gyllenhaal), who has finished a prison stretch for robbing a bank. While overseas, Sam's aircraft gets shot down and he's thought dead. Back home, irresponsible Tommy gets his act together in order to be an anchor for Grace and the girls, and the two grow emotionally -- though not physically -- close. As the family finally begins to make peace with their grief, soldiers rescue POW Sam and he returns home. Sam's experiences overseas have caused him such emotional turmoil, he has a difficult time adjusting to civilian life, and soon his fear and paranoia manifest themselves in the form of jealousy for his brother's relationship with his wife. Sam Shepard and Mare Winningham co-star as the brothers' father and stepmother.
