“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.

Randy Myers

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.

The Review Geek

McGregor’s and Hawke’s performances are raw, walking different lines between grief, hurt, and indifference. But their interactions often feel empty. A flat script does little to buoy them.

Rated: 4/10

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.

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

There is a gorgeous tale within the film about brotherhood, the love between them in the face of adversity, the loyalty between the two and the frictions as each tries to reconcile themselves to their father in their own ways. Otherwise it’s a dull story of a bad father who the writing goes very easy on. Luckily, there’s an assortment of supporting characters who help Ethan Hawke and Ewan McGregor work through their baggage, often with a patience and care that defies explanation.

GUTE SCHAUSPIELER, SCHWACHER FILM Zwei Brüder fahren zusammen zur Beerdigung ihres Vaters denn sie nie geliebt haben. Auf den Weg dahin arbeiten sie ihre Beziehung auf und auf der Beerdigung selbst sehen sie was ihr Vater in Wahrheit getrieben hat. Mit Ewan McGregor und Ethan Hawk haben wir hier zwei starke Schauspieler, die aber gerade das nötigste machen. Man kann ihnen aber auch nicht böse sein, denn soviel gibt das Drehbuch nicht her. Im Auto fahren, sich herzliches Beileid wünschen lassen und nen Grab ausheben. Während es noch recht lustig los geht und auch das Ende man so nicht kommen sieht, zieht sich der mittelteil unglaublich hin. Es passiert so wenig das man aufs Klo gehen kann und danach ohne Probleme wieder reinkommt. Am Ende bleibt die Geschichte zweier Brüder die ihren Papa nicht liebten, aber viel macht man leider nicht draus.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
