sensitive; touching; it's the stirring chemistry between Joaquin Phoenix and John C. Reilly as committed siblings that transforms these lively, violent circumstances into a sweet and intimate journey designed to catch acolytes of the genre off-guard
Jacques Audiard's wry, surprising, and often plain hilarious frontier story..and beautifully played; Joaquin Phoenix and John C Reilly offer plenty of odd-couple chemistry in this enjoyably off-beat and heartfelt western
it is the kind of old-fashioned, quintessentially American story they used to call a picaresque; "The Sisters Brothers" is an eccentric Western with a great cast
Audiard, referencing such classics as 'The Treasure of the Sierra Madre' and 'McCabe and Mrs. Miller', sculpts his own unique vision, and it's a knockout / There's greed, for sure, and a vein of dark comedy that the film mines with rollicking gusto
