Vladmir Bobylev goes on leave for his 60th anniversary. He takes his wife and son and heads for his native town Kholmy, where he stops with his family at his battle comrade, who suggests a trip to their battle places. The old man agrees almost without hesitation, for after the war hes never been there. They get acquainted with German tourists, and it turns out that one of them also fought here as an officer in the Army of fascist general Paulus.
'Brother' is a gripping family drama with dazzling performances all around.
While subverting the conventions of Golden Age cinema with the characteristics of a slasher, Pearl studies the delusions of grandeur inspired by the movies.
These confines won’t really encourage you to read the film as a metaphor for the nerve-inducing experience we’ve all been through over the last year, however — and in the interest of maintaining your dignity, you probably shouldn’t. While the sociopolitical commentary may have worked for the similarly-themed Buried (2010), in which we find Ryan Reynolds on his own buried alive in the Middle East, but this futuristic take on the premise is best left as a piece of distracting entertainment. Nevertheless, the atmosphere is no less suffocating, literally and dramatically.
A bumpy journey about revolution and family makes us feel fear, disgust, humor, and satisfaction.
The characters aren’t likable, the story is predictable and the humor is either disgusting, obnoxious, or uncomfortable. The Wrong Missy is a mess of a film and it’s not really worth your time.
