Our take

A revisiting of Susanne Bier’s 2004 Danish original, Brothers offers an unflinching look at grief, jealousy, and sibling rivalry. Featuring a trio of stellar performances from Tobey Maguire, Natalie Portman, and Jake Gyllenhaal, this affecting family drama excels in both pacing and power.
