Really Surprised!

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

at first sigh, a strange , unrealistic story. at the second, a good job. in fact, only a hypothesis about a men click and the clash between feelings and ideology. not new idea but used in wise manner. cold, cruel, with subtle references to Greek mythology, Brotherhood has a lot of virtues. the acting, the script, the set, the atmosphere, the not comfortable situations, the culture of hate against an exotic form of heresy. a film who propose a bitter subject who could not be represented only by gay relation but the manner to define the pillars of national identity, the courage and the national virtues. a film about a group and its broken rules. and a brilliant art of exploration of details.

Western welfare, alienation from success-based society, yearning for order and clarity - those are the benchmarks of the events taking place in Broderskab, where fanning Nazis and feeling same-sex attraction - supposedly excluding - melt into a tense and varied narration full of strong feelings, both good and bad. Well, the script seems realistic, but not so catchy and novel (the beginning and ending are, though), but the whole mood and strong performances (particularly Thure Lindhardt as Lars, David Dencik as Jimmy, Nicolas Bro as Michael/"Tykke") provide the film with suitable depth and versatility. In spite of the fact that the looks of Dencik is not so gay at all.On the other hand, as Danish drama films are so high-class, then, according to me, Broderskab is not among the finest ones. Definitely good and recommended to watch, but not in my respective personal Top10. Thus, "only" 7 points from me. But strong points still...

Ah, the magic and confusing explosive mixture of machismo and sexuality!!! There is no other institution with such discomfort at the mention of homosexuality, than the military. It certainly makes a lot of sense. If your purpose is spilling of the blood, what do you do with arousal and men loving ? Well, the skinheads are based on the same false patriotic and quasi-military principals. Shaved heads, extremely tight pants, loud music, cheap beer, and almost exclusively male company.No surprise than, that Lars and Jimmy hit it off so well nor that it ended so badly. Nothing filthier than moronic notions of purity, racial or sexual. The nature of humankind is exactly the lack of purity and aching imperfection of us all. Whenever you try to take that away, you destroy the essence of our existence.where do you go after that?

Sense of love, hate or life. Sense of gestures and words. Sense of meetings and guilty, justice and feelings. Sense of punishment. A movie about neo-Nazi group and a young man in search of his place. A gray world. And answer to solitude. Images of intolerance, hypocrisy and self escape. A gay movie. At first sight. In fact, picture of crisis. Crumb from a real/imaginary Danish life style. A love accident as answer to deep problems. Like essence of two existences. The story is interesting, the acting is good, the script is balancing exercise but important is only the last images. A hospital. Two men. And the hidden words. The look of innocent traitor. And the game of facts as trace of snail. Source of questions, this film must see. Not exactly for tale. Maybe , as antidote against intolerance and prejudices. But the real motif is just the temptation to discover world beyond its skin. That is all !
