simon B @RT38807898 1h lovely gentle film, and good soundtrack. cannot believe the negative reviews?! See more Ann P @Abbeca 3d Really enjoyed this gentle film, great soundtrack. Great chemistry between Brian Cox and Alan Cumming as estranged brothers. Would recommend 👌 See more Annabel M @RT13387863 3d Very disappointing. Trying to be like Local Hero but failing utterly with its clunking dialogue. Even this talented cast couldn't inject any humour or emotion into it. Sad that Brian Cox's debut as a director has been so unimpressive. See more Margaret S @RT10122323 3d One cliche after another. I was so bored and disappointed. The scenery and cinematography were wonderful but everything else was dire. See more Nigel W @Maigemu 6d This is a Hallmark-style film which only lacks the flower shop/bakery and a bit of snow sprayed on to summer foliage to complete the scene. To say that the plot and dialogue are clichéd to the point of rigormortice is to understate the shear boredom of the movie. Two brothers from a wealthy but mildly disfunctional family have a falling out at a funeral. One moves to the USA where he runs a Jazz club in Chicago and sings in his own band though regrettably without adequate lipsync. The other brother stays at home in a palatial house running the family distillery(as you do). For reasons which I’ll let you guess the USA brother returns to Scotland. Cue vistas of mountains etc. The brothers still don’t get on- surprise. But the errant brother happens upon the local pub where a traditional Scottish band is playing and he can show us his non-lypsync skills again. Some irrelevant things happen. There is a bit of a party Eventually they all live happily ever after. Dire See more Susan R @RT63327787 Apr 20 This is a wonderfully understated tale of two Scottish brothers. It is so true to the Scottish culture - not needing big dramatic speeches by either character to tell the audience how the reunion is progressing. Watching it in a Scottish cinema the audience loved the subtle humour and certainly the emotional crescendo hit the spot with myself, a usually fairly practical viewer. Well worth watching if you want an authentic story set in modern Scotland. See more Read all reviews
