Visually, this movie is stunning, and the lead actors have undeniable, natural chemistry. They sell the intimacy so well that it could have been a top-tier romantic drama.
HOWEVER , the creative choice to make them brothers is baffling. BROTHERS?!?!! If they were childhood friends or literally anything else, it would work beautifully. Instead, the "ick factor" of the premise completely overshadows the talent on screen. A well-acted, beautiful-looking missed opportunity.
