“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

The 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.

I really enjoyed it until the last few minutes. The characters were interesting, the dynamic between the brothers was believable, and the plot was intimate and engaging. If only the female characters didn’t fall into tropes, I would have liked it more.

Geek Vibes Nation

An interesting commentary on the effects of grief, as well as how it influences our perception of the deceased. With a strong sense of visual style and excellent performances from its lead actors, it has some genuinely great elements to offer audiences.

Rated: 6/10

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

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

Weird, broken characters acting strangely to bizarre situations and yet,,,not in the least is the film compelling or entertaining. The entire movie, I found myself going "Huh?!? Weird!" Go find a backed-up toilet to unclog instead. Compared to this movie, it'll stink less and not be nearly as shitty.

Uma excelente comédia dramática, quase uma poesia, se não fosse por declarar toda dor que o abandono parental pode causar, o ponto alto do filme são os coadjuvantes que vão sendo agregados no decorrer dos acontecimentos, sempre trazendo novas informações sobre o morto, de forma divertida e curiosa, adorável... "É para ter estabilidade com um emprego empolgante. O risco faz você se sentir vivo. Às vezes, até ser meio descuidado pode ser bom." fico feliz de estar no caminho certo...

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.
