Two Brothers
will guarantee it a long future."

Boyd van Hoeij
B+

FilmJerk.com
Brian Orndorf
B+
"I defy any animal lover not to tear up with Kumal and Sangha reunite, even if it is a little faux."
AboutFilm.com
Carlo Cavagna
4/5
"[It's] a marvel of filmmaking."
eFilmCritic.com
David Cornelius
A-
"“Two Brothers” is a wildly emotional, surprisingly delightful story of persecution, devotion and the triumphant determination of love."
EDGE Boston
David Foucher
2/4
"There's something awfully disturbing about
Two Brothers
, and it's not the fact that Guy Pearce is in it."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
C
"Annaud’s tigers are benign."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
B-
"It is merely OK -- tedious for long stretches, but lovely and guileless the rest of the time."

Eric D. Snider
D
"Astonishingly dreadful."
Film Blather
Eugene Novikov
B-
"The animals outact the humans by a considerable margin, but since more attention is given to them, the picture gets by as solid, old-fashioned family entertainment."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
5/5
"An extraordinary film about two wild tigers and the human beings who are changed irreparably by their encounters with these magnificent and mysterious creatures."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
3/4
"
Two Brothers
is like a children’s book come to life, and it’s this summer’s “family film” to beat."
Slant Magazine
Keith Uhlich
B
"Annaud once again harnesses a knack for telling a largely dialogue-free story with mesmerizing, all-natural acting performances from animals."
FilmStew.com
Larry Carroll
B
"The final confrontation...is suspenseful and ironic...[but] the filmmaker should have shown more responsibility in depicting Raoul's interaction with his former pet"
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
7/10
"As with
The Bear
much of the plot is carried by animal photography, though this film has considerably more human plot. A good family film, and a moving experience."
rec.arts.movies.reviews
Mark R. Leeper
"[A] heartbreaking fable of friendship, family ties, and the human impact on the natural world..."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
2.5/4
"The very definition of harmless, watchable entertainment. Exactly whether or not that is good enough depends on who you are."
Mr. Brown's Movies
Michael Dequina
2/4
"I was put off by the way the movie anthropomorphizes the tigers."
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
B
"This is the story of magnificent creatures gorgeously photographed in a story that is quietly told and genuinely touching."
Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
Nell Minow
3.5/5
"The actors play it straight, clearly aware that the tigers are the stars."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
B
"wears its conservationist heart on its sleeve but that is not such a bad thing for enlightening family entertainment"
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
C
"Sentimental but openly corny."
Eclipse Magazine
Sean O'Connell
"Noteworthy because it represents a kind of fevered moviemaking insanity that we rarely see these days."
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
B+
"Annaud's skill and subtlety elevate what is basically a fable-like throwback to the sort of live-action features Disney made in the 50s... so far the year's best family film."
Decent Films Guide
Steven D. Greydanus
7/10
"A stunning, visually spectacular fable - and those wondrous little tiger cubs are irresistible."
www.susangranger.com
Susan Granger
"Speaks eloquently to old-fashioned ideas of love, loyalty and decency."
