Written Review for Brothers

Brothers is one of the best movies of the year. Tobey Maguire and Jake Gyllenhaal give two of the best performances of the year. I can see Tobey Maguire getting an Oscar nomination for how great his performance was in this movie. He was just phenominal. He actually gave the best performance I have seen all year (yes, that includes Sharlto Copley (District 9) and Max Records (Where the Wild Things Are)). It's such an emotional story and so powerful that it kills me that the critics are split on it. I'd actually perfer this to win Best Picture over Precious, but not over Where the Wild Things Are. Such an amazing movie. I give Brothers *****.
