Highly recommend. The storytelling was tightly done, I feel like the characters we were meant to care about were presented to us in a heartfelt way for sure. Michael really seemed like he needed and hung onto his brother, even working the same job. 10 years later and he still hadn’t let go 

Francis surely ended up in a lot of situations that could’ve ended him.

A powerhouse performance from Aaron Pierre. What a guy.

at first i was really confused about the timelines of the movie but the further and further i got into the movie it came together and it seamed beautifully, although francis’s death was kinda anticlimactic and poorly scripted the rest of the movie was awesome and the acting was great

this was so well-executed regardless of the cliched themes

a haunting portrait of grief, responsibility, and the quiet erosion of self.

this isn’t a story about what happened so much as what was carried. michael, the older brother, moves through the world like someone already bracing for impact. he’s not hardened by choice, but by necessity. there’s no space for softness in the version of manhood he’s been handed—especially not in a world that already sees him as dangerous.

what’s most tragic is how little we truly know him. seen through the eyes of his younger brother, he’s mythologized, admired, feared. but beneath the surface is someone unraveling. his strength is a performance, his silence a shield. and when that mask begins to slip, it’s almost too late.

the film is patient, letting emotion simmer until it spills. its power lies in restraint—letting a glance, a gesture, a long pause say what words won’t. brother doesn’t beg for your empathy; it quietly demands your attention. and in doing so, it captures something unbearably human: how easy it is to lose someone before you ever really knew them.
