As a Brit, I had no trouble with it!<br /><br />I think I approached this film from a slightly sceptical angle. I almost gave it three stars. I can easily understand how you hold it in such high regard. High hopes for Sally El Hosaini for sure.<br /><br />Thanks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04564173133044175515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7133253745096044838.post-42269932031744865152013-04-02T01:52:03.792+01:002013-04-02T01:52:03.792+01:00No problem at all with the detours Paddy, as each ...No problem at all with the detours Paddy, as each was fascinating and powerfully presented. My Brother the Devil is nearly a five-star work, but for now I’ll rule on the side of caution and go with 4.5. I do have the feeling however, that this remarkable, almost operatic gangland re-invention by the talented British-Arabic director Sally El Hosaini will resonate for a very long time. Culture collision, sexual awakening and tough life on the streets on an infamous London neighborhood showcases the country’s ethnic diversity serviced by a sharply-written screenplay with a British language derivative that almost needs subtitling, but is superb in it’s authenticity. The film is brilliantly acted and photographed.<br /><br />As always, very fine work here Paddy.Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.com
