    Disciplined story, of coming to death. What you see is what you get, which is the best the movie can offer. In this case Luc and Thomas separated some time in the past, which both are to "blame" for. Time present, dying Thomas calls in his brother felling guilty for abandoning him. Throughout the movie there is a Luc's struggle to accept his big brother as mortal. Luc tries to hide beyond the short answers and courteous apologies. His own worries and mental games are as banal as they can be, but nonetheless truthful and coldhearted for the sake of that honesty. Makes you wonder if you have a sibling.… Expand

    Todeschini has the most physically demanding role, with a gaunt face and ravaged body that utterly convinces of the brutality of the ailment.

    Chéreau's film is an unsentimental, almost uninflected, account of a preparation for death, told with a painful clarity that eventually bleeds into compassion.
