 Rating:  - 'After the Wedding' is Bier's masterpiece, but 'Brothers' well worth your time, tooEach week, Wall Street Journal movie reviewer Joe Morgenstern lists his DVD Tip for the week. Typically, it's a subtitled gem overlooked by a domestic audience. This week, it was director Susanne Bier's masterpiece, After the Wedding, a surefire Oscar winner had it not been for the unsurpassed brilliance of writer/director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck's The Lives of Others. Ms. Bier's previous work, "Brothers," is up to those same high standards. Though not an original subscriber ...

It is at times rough, brutal, and it doesn't shy away from or flinch from touchy subject material. This is a movie about war and the impacts and ripple effects that war and the actions one makes while at war can have on a family. Don't expect that this to be a happy movie.

The movie is everything they say it is and more. As a veteran who served and has spent time in VA hospitals, I can tell you this movie hit home. My only wish is that the movie would come out in an English dubbed version so that the movie might garner greater exposure to the general public. If more people saw this movie they would by sheer exposure learn ... Read More Rating: - Not to be missedWow! This is some movie. I'm no expert on films but I know when I see something that is flat out great and this movie is it. The story is topical(a soldier who is a loving husband,father serving in Danish Army in Afganistan)and very powerful in showing his return and how it affects his Wife, Kids, and rest of his Family. What makes this film so good is how authentic the characters are portrayed. Unlike similar American films (Home of the Brave)nobody seems like they're "acting" here,right down to the two adoreable ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
