Community Reviews

Opinions on 'Brother and Sister' are deeply divided. While some viewers are captivated by the intense portrayal of familial hatred and the stellar performances of Marion Cotillard and Melvil Poupaud, others find the film lacking in narrative clarity and emotional engagement. Critics praise its ambitious thematic exploration and Desplechin's directorial flair, but some audience members feel the film is pretentious, over-theatrical, and fails to justify the central animosity, leading to a disconnection from the story.
