Plot
Two genius brothers grow up and grow apart as one becomes a successful surgeon and the other pursues a drug-fueled high life.
Sinekatalog’s take
Two gifted brothers grow apart, one becoming a respected surgeon and the other drowning in drugs. The film is earnest but scattered, with a performance-driven focus. A modest indie drama that is more interesting for its intentions than its results.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
