A friend's recommendation reminded me that I saw this stunning documentary-style-film on PBS's Independent Lens.
The literary world of the Harlem Renaissance is more central to this than homosexuality amongst African American men (see Paris is Burning for the best film on that ... read more
One of the reasons I like this movie so much was the way Anthony Mackie chose to portray his character, Perry; very honestly and without going over the top like so many straight actors do in gay roles. It's hard to find something about this movie not to compliment, but I really ... read more
how brilliant was this film when i first saw it! the cast, including anthony mackie, dainel sunjata, percy boutte and anjonue ellis, is an embarassment of riches. evans' visual style is like jazz for the eyes. i hope he is shooting his follow-up to this very successful feature.
This is another educational movie. I would have never thought that but it is. I was only watching it because of Anthony Mackie. It's about some of the people of the Harlem Renaissance. I think alot of ya'll out there will like it. Check it out.
This movie was a good movie, dealing with black gay men. With many twists and turns, certainly no block buster, but neither should it be missed.
This is such a hard film to describe. It is very deep with many themes that run through it. I believe it is a must see -yet each view will come away with a diffrent view - check it out let me know what u think
A very good drama about the difficulties of being young, black, and gay. With a bigger budget and a sharper focus, it might have been a great one. Full Review
Works far better as an idea than its execution. Full Review
Ambitious but clumsy, it's a movie to appreciate rather than to be engaged by. Full Review
There are a couple of self-conscious moments, to be sure, and some anachronisms, but on the whole, Brother to Brother is a graceful work of range and depth. Full Review
Offers fascinating historical context and two fine lead performances (by Anthony Mackie and Roger Robinson) along with some rather awkward storytelling. Full Review
[Evans'] overall effort is an eminently worthy one. Full Review
An intelligent and entertaining exploration of racial and sexual politics that brings alive the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s, and draws parallels with African-American identity crises of today.
Mackie gives a moving performance as Perry. Full Review
