Two Brothers

Frankly I bought the DVD from abroad as I had heard the film was worth a look. It is a shame that it has never been released in Europe. Richard Bell has produced a real gem here. Naturally the film was produced on less than a shoe string and more of that later. However the film was rich on creativity, talent and enthusiasm.

Good points:

A very good script that got even better when I saw the film the second time. The acting was generally good with some strong performances from all the main characters (some scenes were better acted than others) Good directing, editing and the music worked well

Bad points

There were technical issues. The sound was not good and the lighting was a bit "iffy" (hey the film only cost £250 so no real complaint)

The film ended with a lot of loose ends which was deliberate but personally I like a neat ending (minor gripe)

Richard Bell is a credit to the Canadian film industry
