Generally favorable reviews - based on 30 Critics  Critic score
distribution:   1. Positive: 27 out of 30   2. Negative: 1 out
of 30   1. A triumph of psychological drama, owing as much to
Ms. Bier's sensitive style as to Anders Thomas Jensen's smart
screenplay, based on Bier's own story idea.   2. Imaginative and
immensely engrossing film.   3. Reviewed by: Peter Debruge
Brothers takes a scenario as old as Genesis – two jealous
siblings spar over the affections of the same woman – and
renders it fresh and immediate, by virtue of the warm, almost
maternal, generosity director Susanne Bier shows her characters.
4. We do live in a fraught world of interconnections, Bier makes
clear, and what happens far away matters, in unexpected ways,
close to home.   5. Everyone involved -- actors, crew, director
Susanne Bier and screenwriter Anders Thomas Jensen in their
second collaboration -- are in peak form in this unflinching
look at repressed feelings and emotional devastation.   6.
