Brother Verses Brother Ratings & Reviews
Movies and Shakers
Linda and Al Lerner
You'll be fascinated by how talented twins, Ari and Ethan Gold, pooled their talents to create this captivating stream-of-conscious musical about their family, all in one take.
Director's Club
Jim Laczkowski
Brother Verses Brother is ultimately a meditation on family, mortality, and the healing power of organic, artistic expression. The Gold brothers' journey culminates in a moving finale that feels earned despite the film's structural limitations.
Movie Madness Podcast
Erik Childress
Music, like movies, can connect us and our experiences through time and the Golds' real-time hangout has the universal feeling of a trip through life within a single day.
The Film Stage
John Fink
I imagine André Bazin, who detested classical cutting in favor of realism, would have loved the experience. It's one of the great discoveries from this year's SXSW.

Brian Tallerico
It's a sweet, smart movie that's not only unlike anything I saw at SXSW this year, but anything I'll see anywhere all year.
Next Best Picture
Josh Parham
Despite its faults, there's an endearing core that's as absorbing as the bustling city landscape filled with interesting stories. Maybe that doesn't apply to every facet of this particular tale, but enough to find it slightly enthralling.
Sunshine State Cineplex
Alan French
The attempt is noble, and works for the most part. However, Brother Verses Brother cannot fully overcome some of the issues this approach creates.
VisAbleBlackwoman (Medium)
Jeanine T. Abraham
...touches the heart in all the best ways. Identical twin brothers Ari and Ethan Gold star in this wildly creative journey into brotherhood, redemption, grief and the layers of love, dysfunction, protection, and connection that come with close family.
Elements of Madness
Douglas Davidson
... charmingly self-aware & frequently quixotic, yet never relenting in its quest for connection between the central players and the audience simultaneously, building toward a bittersweet climax that's as life-affirmingly poignant as it is soul-crushing.
Awards Buzz
Abe Friedtanzer
While live cinema may not work in every case, this is a fantastic example of how it can be completely terrific, telling a simple story in an imaginative and deeply engaging manner, a celebration of music that doubles as a meditation on life and loss.
