The entire movie felt real and based on real characters but the ending threw me off almost completely.
I don't wanna give any spoilers but there's this element that appears out of nowhere, creates a plot twist and gives you somewhat of a happy ending.
I was like "what just happened???".
I guess that's what they call Deus ex machina. From wiki: a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem in a story is suddenly and abruptly resolved by an unexpected and unlikely occurrence.

It's flawed but it's an enjoyable feel good movie. Its story is interesting, heartwarming and tries to deliver a nice message but sometimes it drags while some other times it rushes, and sometimes it gets a bit cheesy. This movie is far from being a masterpiece but it's still good and entertaining, see it with no high expectations.

It is decent; it has a simple but effective plot, the performances of Alessandro Preziosi and Francesco Cavallo are good and the music is passable; Roberto Capucci has a lot of potential as a film director.

But how thick is it really? And can it be forced to live together? All questions that can be answered here - sort of. Because we all are different aren't we? I personally do not have those issues with family members - but hey conflicts make movies work.
So the issues they have here are supposed to be resolved - and of course that only means that we get to see a lot of drama and conflict. It is quite well written and it has some fine scenes and really good acting in it. Some will dig it more than others - as always I reckon. Not bad.

I was going to give this movie a better grade but the ending just left me like .. what the f just happened??
I got that they wanted to be abstract about what happens at the end (i won't say it due to spoilers) but it was just a little bit weird.

It was a test of endurance, that at the end leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth (a disgusting taste).
One of the most horrible movie I ever watch, ever (awful direction, very very bad acting, horrific photography, dialogues ridicolous, plot copied...).
Italians can do better than this ...c r a p !

You often find gems where you least expect them. Roberto Capucci not only wrote but also directed this great film. Capucci will become one of the great Italian filmmakers if he follows this path, I am convinced. Good music, excellent actors, great story, pleasant atmosphere, heartfelt drama. Of course, there is no action, spin and brutality in it - that's why xyz, etc. Generation will not do. But if you open your mind, let yourself go, and let it take you, you will really enjoy it. A masterpiece. Thank you Roberto!
Save 2 hrs of your life. This movie is shallow, weak and quite silly.
Watched half and decided this can get no better.
Just a load of dribble stretched out.
Very good for the insomniacs.

I started watching without too many expectations but it's a beautiful movie and the most important thing for me, it's a movie with a message, with something to learn.
Interesting movie. Very nice music to listen. And proper lazio italian accent to listen in original.

Good acting. Very well shot. Anytime you watch an Italian film all I wanna do is drink wine and eat pasta! Being Italian, we have the best fashion, food, fast cars and fast motorcycles....

My Brother, My Sister (Italian: Mio fratello, mia sorella) is a drama film directed by Roberto Capucci and starring Alessandro Preziosi, Claudia Pandolfi, Ludovica Martino and Francesco Cavallo.
An estranged brother and sister are forced to live together because of their deceased father's will although the sister hates her brother but they tries to overcome their differences to become a family.
The film has a unique concept and a great exection which displays different emotions in a very unique way.
The plot of the film is good and execution is superb. The film will keep you glued through out and is beautifully backed by some funny, emotional and heart warming feelings. The film thoroughly displays the feeling of an angry sister who hates her brother because he left them without any trace and she thoughts that he has came back for the will or the money of his deceased father. As the time passes her anger starts melting seeing his love and care for her kids and she realizes her mistake when gets to know the reason of his abruptly leaving them.
Acting in the film was superb and all of the actors were superb in their respective roles. BGM of the film is good and the climax of the film is unusual and unique (I am not sharing the details to avoid spoilers).
A must watch feel good and heart warming film.
