Slightly dull - From Beginning to End review by MI
Missed opportunity I’m afraid. Too many ‘soft focus’ with classical music scenes. Thank goodness for subtitles so I could fast forward and not miss the dialogue.

Beautiful and Touching - From Beginning to End review by JR
In some ways this is a very simple film. It is a love story, of a very beautiful , tender and loving relationship. It just happens to be between two men who are half brothers. If that offends you then best to avoid, if not you're in for a treat. The two leads are wonderful and totally believable in the roles. It is funny and sad and ultimately uplifting. I really enjoyed this very film. Hope you do too.
