Critic Reviews

  • Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post

    A story of brothers that's both tough and tender.

  • Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times

    "My Brother the Devil" is a promising debut that marks El Hosaini as a filmmaker to watch, but one still very much in the developmental stages.

  • Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times

    Nuances of faith, politics and sexual identity enrich what initially presents as a classic good son-bad son tale, and although the film's melting-pot patois is occasionally too dense to decipher, we get the gist.

  • Mark Jenkins, NPR

    El Hosaini fights the conventions of the brotherly gangster melodrama, but the conventions win.
