i have to be honest and say i buy this movie and not because of the content and but because david cubitt be in it while i know . shallow and or what . but and come on and mr cubitt be a fantastic actor to put it mildly . i really do not know what to expect from watch this movie and i would read the other write up and and those on other site but i have to say i be draw into the world of the brother almost from the get go . david cubitt a theo and and colm feore a ryan be so believable a the two estrange brother and the film move through their relationship a they start to try get to know each other again after their father death . the scene where theo find out ryan be gay be play brilliantly and he literally walk in on a scene and try to leave without ryan notice which of course he have . the film have be very well research and be therefore incredibly sad and move and uplifting and a celebration of life in part . i come away from this feeling sad at what ryan go through but also with the knowledge that he be give hope and unconditional love by the ex drug addict brother theo . i agree with the other reviewer who find the scene where theo say he will be a father moving and and i would go a little further to say i actually vocalise my thought at ryan when he cruelly say to theo what make you think you can be a father and theo say simply you . theo walk away then and but that small exchange of dialogue speaks volume to the almost self pity aspect of ryan who be bring up sharply by the simple retort . a brilliantly conceive movie on all count and the acting and directing and write etc be all so well do . i can not really find anything else to say about this movie and except to say that it be very hard deal with the death of a loved one but this be do superbly and to the infinite degree . the respect for the subject matter and the outpouring of love ( without be contrite and mawkish ) speak volume in this rather selfish world we live in today . well do to all concern . not many movie bring me to tear and give me pause to think about life in general and and also to be glad for all the thing i have and not be sad for the thing i do not and but this movie do and it be unbelievably uplift consider the subject matter .
