Frank J. Avella Awards Daily Rachid Bouchareb’s discomfiting Our Brothers is based in fact and centers on the murders of two young men...by Parisian police during student protests in 1986. It’s a horrible stain on France’s history and Bouchareb does not sugar coat it. Rated: B Dec 27, 2022 Full Review Àngel Quintana Caimán Cuadernos de Cine We are not facing a great film, but we are facing an open door to another silenced chapter of French history.
