The Sisters Brothers - Avaliações

En bra film om mänsklig ensamhet...

Välspelad västern med ovanliga bilder.

Særligt forrygende er samspillet mellem John C. Reilly og Joaquin Phoenix som brødrene Sisters, to dusørjægere, der ordner dem, deres chef kommandøren peger på.

...en omvälvande västernpärla.

John C. Reilly and Joaquin Phoenix shine as wild west hitmen who are just smart enough to know they should be smarter, whose quest leads them in unexpected, funny, and surprisingly emotional directions.

...it’s Audiard’s gift for showing how pain shapes a person – first glimpsed, albeit mawkishly, in Rust and Bone – that elevates the film from entertaining yarn into a bittersweet tale of brotherly love.

...enjoyable revisionist Western...

The best moments of this rambling, minor-key frontier story... ...are the ones that find vulnerability in rakes and rogues, pulled away from their baser instincts by their consciences, and by the bonds of friendship and family.

Sometimes violent, often hilarious, and always unpredictable, Jacques Audiard’s dark Western is a terrific yarn about two uncivilised men grappling with the onset of civilisation.

Audiard’s storytelling has an easy swing to it, his dialogue is garrulous and unsentimental, and the narrative is exotically offbeat.

Audiard nöjer sig fördelaktigt nog med ett mer avskalat formspråk, vilket bidrar till att denna mycket nedblodade och skitiga film doftar förvånansvärt fräscht.

Bra dialog och lakonisk humor...

...en barsk og underholdende gavtyve-western, som slutter i mildt sollys.
