  • Summary: Set over Halloween weekend of 1987, My Brothers is the story of three young brothers' quest to replace their dying father
    s watch. Noel, 17, serious, weighed down by responsibility; Paudie: 11, cocky, not so bright and dreams of playing in goals for Liverpool and Scwally: 7, naive and obses    sed with Star Wars (despite never actually having seen the films). Using a battered bread van, the brothers embark on a journey across the wild Irish landscape on the Halloween weekend, grinding gears and screaming at each other to get to an arcade machine in Ballybunion. Along the way they are detoured by escalating brotherly battles in an off-beat and moving journey that can only lead them home.… Expand

    If the actors playing the brothers show little fraternal similarity, their performances are convincingly natural.

    There's not much to dislike in My Brothers' sweet inconsequence, but even less to quicken the pulse or stir the heart.

    An uncommon example of purely allegorical cinema, Paul Fraser's film foregoes plot almost entirely in favor of thematic resonance.
