My Brother Simple

A tragicomedy indeed. I kept both smiling and crying and feeling both the warmth and the sadness in my heart while watching this film. It manages to highlight the warm sides of what it means to be a human, while simultaneously capturing the tragic parts.

I would definitely recommend it, especially to those looking for a film which evokes a variaty of emotions and stimulates your empathy. Be prepared for an emotional rollar coaster, especially if you are a highly empathetic person.

This is the one of those movies which remains undiscovered to larger audiences, from unknown reasons. David Kross gave us the role which deserve Oscar without any doubt, a seismic depiction of one form of the existence of a human soul.

This story of one brother -Ben- caring for his handicaped brother -Simple- touched me much more than expected. Ben invests his whole life into his brother, which is really heart touching. You as the audiance want to see him to succed, see a happy end. You want to see that the father, who left the family, is wrong. But it is not as simple like that. Simple should get the best available chance to live a good life. But is it his brothers Ben life-goal to give up his own life for Simple? A clear recommandation from my side. Good Story, very good acting, well choosen music and definitly something you can take with you when you get out of the theatre

If this film was American would be famous. Very emotional
