Brothers (Jim Sheridan)

From the first scene, as we watch Sam (one of the two brothers, played by Tobey Maguire; the other brother is played by Jake Gyllenhaal) prepare to be deployed to Afghanistan, until the last, when he begins to reveal to his wife what he saw and did there, this movie is emotionally wrenching. And yet it makes few easy moves. Interestingly, much of the emotional core of the movie is conveyed not by the two brothers but by two sisters, Sam's two daughters (astonishingly played by Bailee Madison and Taylor Geare).

Highly recommend. But be prepared.
