I was really impressed. It's a bolder film than you might expect and the music is really good Go to Full Review
Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Oct 6, 2026
A bold, timely, unconventional and heartfelt, but somewhat overlong, sugar-coated and clunky musical drama about empathy, compassion, tolerance and finding common ground. Go to Full Review

See more Jeff W @jwasden 5 hrs ago Such a powerful, moving message with brilliant singers/talent. Everyone needs to not only see Brotherhood, but take a friend, neighbor, family member to go see this wonderful cinematic musical. See more Alan S @RT43595702 15 hrs ago What a great film. I loved the music, the choreography, the storytelling, and the heart behind it all. The message about loving people who are different than me was powerful and inspiring. It left me asking what I can do to help someone in my own community. Highly recommend. See more Lauri B @RT66951355 16 hrs ago Oh my gosh! This movie is definitely one to take the whole family to. The story! The cast! The music! The words of the songs keep going over and over in my head! Such a simple message but a beautiful one that everyone needs to hear. See more Cary S @Cary515 21 hrs ago Completely and utterly amazing! The music in this film is spectacular. Each of the main characters in the film have their own unique story and theme song, that blends flawlessly into the next person’s part. Ross Boothe wrote a masterpiece when he scored this movie. Then, also being the director, he was able to express all the emotions of each character and the many themes thru out. Daren Smith was a great pick as producer, and bringing together a very good cast who seemed to figure out how to work together early in the film, brought all the feelings to the top as they wove their way thru the difficult subject matter of dealing with ICE agents, even when you have legal asylum status, and shows perfectly how people can change their mind and change their hearts to find love for their neighbor, wherever they come from. Showing love for mankind, and how we can be different, but we should learn to get along is a great message and the main theme of the movie! The actors were terrific! See more Hector R @RT78983595 23 hrs ago Brotherhood is the kind of movie our country needs right now—a cure for political division and the growing animosity toward our immigrant brothers and sisters. ❤️ A reminder that immigrants are human beings seeking a better life, just like everyone else, in a country built by immigrants. Let’s choose compassion over hatred and humanity over division. 🇺🇸🤝 See more Read all reviews
