Beneath its surface of chronic suffering and hospital details, Chereau's best drama etches a humane, sensitive, and richly moving portrait of fraternal love struggling to mitigate human frailty.Full Review

Stringent, clinical and almost unbearably moving.Full Review

Dana Stevens
The New York Times

Son Frère is a real achievement, delicate, perceptive, somewhat muted but nonetheless strong.Full Review

Stanley Kauffmann
The New Republic

Chéreau's film is an unsentimental, almost uninflected, account of a preparation for death, told with a painful clarity that eventually bleeds into compassion.Full Review

Dennis Lim
Village Voice

Son Frère is hushed, clinical, grimly paced, and moving.Full Review
