“Raymond & Ray” follows half-brothers Raymond and Ray who have lived in the shadow of a terrible father. Somehow, they still each have a sense of humor, and his funeral is a chance for them to reinvent themselves. There’s anger, there’s pain, there’s folly, there might be love, and there’s definitely gravedigging.

Critics Consensus

Ethan Hawke and Ewan McGregor are almost -- but not quite -- compelling enough to make up for Raymond & Ray's listless narrative.

Great acting, interesting story. Some heavy dramatic scenes and balanced with comic relief

Me sorprendió esta película, esperaba un dramon denso y aburrido, y es más que eso, tiene su comedia negra interesante y el desarrollo de la historia es algo loco pero que no se siente distante y te permite conectar con los protagonistas en su duelo.

Life can be messy and so can funerals. Great performances by all, I felt. Dark comedy, surprises, happy and unhappy endings. When I saw the reviews I was floored, as if I'd seen a different movie. I rarely watch movies twice, but will this one and with a friend. It was refreshingly gritty. A little biting. Bravo!

How crazy can a family be? Let's count the ways. This film is an honest if over the top study of how dire actions can affect one well into adulthood. Teach your children well. Especially if you hadn't been. Maybe the most revelatory scene that depicted that notion is Raymond's breakdown at the funeral. Which, in the same vein as but not quite as out from nowhere as when Vince shot Marvin in Pulp Fiction, was as terrifying as it was entertaining to watch. The tragic honesty of that scene was that it probably hit a little too close to home in regards to how people genuinely feel about an estranged parent(s).

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I enjoyed it. Was good. I am a fan of the in medias res flair. Solid film production, real good actors. Worth watching.

San Jose Mercury News

Raymond & Ray does have its moments, but it seems obsessed with trying to be different when it’s basically just warming up leftovers.

Rated: 2/4

Kevin Maher

Times (UK)

The third act is clunky and disappointing, as both men coincidentally encounter women who have been crudely shoehorned into the narrative solely to smooth our boys’ furrowed brows and, well, to cure them.

Rated: 3/5

... It never rings true, a portrait of grief afraid to confront itself in any real way.

Tilt Magazine

Raymond & Ray succeeds as a cathartic and tender venture into gallows humour that charms just as much as it moves. It’s an insightful look at grief, reconciliation, and the empty, circus-like process of modern grieving.

Damon Wise

Deadline Hollywood Daily

In the course of the film, each meets a woman who turns out to be sympathetic to their needs, a slightly schematic plot device that nevertheless works out thanks to the caliber of the cast.

Channel24 (South Africa)

it's perhaps not surprising that Rodrigo Garcia's Raymond and Ray is a really solid, intimate drama that is so very at home on the small screen.
