CRITICS OF "Brother"

MovieFreak.com

The film explores in multi-layered depths how violence begets violence and how this cycle, once started, is nearly impossible to break.

June 19, 2003

Resource

New York Observer

As an actor and writer-director, Mr. Kitano projects an amused irony that makes his films worth seeing.

August 03, 2001

Resource

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

A powerful statement on a violent society -- and a very uncomfortable one that is apt to alienate many viewers.

June 25, 2012

Resource

Houston Chronicle

Intriguing though uneven.

July 27, 2001

Greenwich Village Gazette

Takashi has been considered a master auteur. Perhaps, but there's no art here, just violence.

November 07, 2003

Film Scouts

A vital, stylish Yakuza pic, Kitano crafts a new world/old world, brother against brother epic battle straddling both sides of the Pacific.

June 21, 2007

San Diego Metropolitan

Oh, brother.

RTÉ (Ireland)

If the yardstick for mob flicks is 'Goodfellas' (and it should be), then 'Brother' doesn't stand a chance. On its own, however, it is a stylish, colourful film.

February 13, 2003

Resource

San Francisco Chronicle

Kitano presents all this mayhem in crisp and cool camera work that distances it and keeps it from becoming oppressive.

July 27, 2001

Resource

Miami Herald

Kitano's most enjoyable, flat-out fun movie, provided you can stomach the violence.

August 10, 2001

Washington Post

Just how many acts of self-inflicted finger amputations do I really want to see?

July 27, 2001

Seattle Times

Sure to satisfy fans of the laconic auteur.
