Reviews

A tense undercurrent runs through the 84-minute feature. That conflict, and the subtlety with which it's rendered, makes the film stand out in a world full of good music documentaries.

Pat Padua, Spectrum Culture

A moving documentary with generous amounts of music, "Los Hermanos/The Brothers" follows two musician siblings from Havana whose personal closeness is at odds with the geopolitics that keep them apart.
