Little Brother

Re-watched the family drama Little Brother now available for rent or to buy on streaming. I first caught it last year online with the 2023 Atlanta Film Festival (where it won top prize for audience favorite). Loved it last year and was even more impressed upon second viewing. It's a deeply moving/affecting look at mental health, suicide/family bonds and empathy. The film explores two brothers- Jake the younger who is asked to transport his older suicidal brother Pete home to Seattle for a family intervention. Daniel Diemer and Philip Enttinger are terrific as Jake and Pete, two siblings on a road trip to bond/heal and connect with each other. Writer/director Sheridan O Donnell shares a powerful message here on family/brotherly bonds and healing. This is the kind of intense family drama I thought they didn't make anymore. One of the best films you will stream in 2024. Highly recommended.
