A well-structured screenplay, certainly, but exceptional filmmaking, too. Everything flows with such nuance and precision that it's, frankly, stunning that this comes from a"
"The brothers are played by brothers, which helps a lot; but ultimately neither one is all that likable. Pfeiffer certainly is but the singing sings seem aren't very strong whereas the squabbles are the main focus and well, only fairly interesting... kind of like this review."
