      S R Saw it to learn about the Warner Bros story and their legacy. It was informative, but I don't plan on seeing it again unless it's for research. Saw on TCM. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/09/23 Full Review David F This is a great documentary about the family behind the Warner Brothers movie studio, made by a member of the family. Mixes Hollywood history with family history in a great way. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Overall, this is the sort of film that movie lovers like myself love--especially those who adore Hollywood during the classic years of the 1920s-40s. Fascinating--as it's filled with wonderful little stories and facts that film buffs will love. My only real problem with the film is that there is just too much material for a film that's just a bit over 90 minutes long. A mini-series would really due more justice to the history of this amazing studio. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member The Brothers Warner Could have been so much more... somehow I've gotten a gut instinct feeling we've only been given half true stories. Documentarian/ struggling Hollywood elite Cass Warner Sperling, Is Jack Warners Great granddaughter. And conviently cashing in on her family's dirty laundry. So filthy and intimate it would make Jack wake from the dead Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting and insightful this documentary offers up a revealing portrait of the men who built one of the most well known studios. It was great to see interviews with a wide range of people from many different aspects connected to the industry. The documentary was very personal to Cass Warner and this kinda became a hindrance as she bared her feeling into the project. This took me out of the film at times and was the only thing that bothered me. Still, interesting to learn so much about these great men and family. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting document of the origins of the one of the great Hollywood studios, although it does on occasions feel like you're looking at the old family album with Grandma (which actually does happen at one point in the film). Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies The four Warner Brothers would certainly be proud of The Brothers Warner...lives up to their legacy... Rated: 4/5 Mar 31, 2020 Full Review Ryan Cracknell Movie Views Told from the insider's perspective of Harry Warner's granddaughter Cass Warner, comes a slightly Michael Moore-esque look at the establishment of the Warner empire in Hollywood.
