Brothers from Malta

What a great insight in the Maltese culture. The connections were bloody hilarious and really confirms the very distinct attributes of the Maltese. Two Brothers from Malta made me feel proud to be Maltese. We are who we are and to see in on the big screen was a comfort and a great laugh. The loudness, the abruptness and most important the good heart behind the yelling all makes sense. So, I keep telling my Spanish husband when he asked me to whisper, my reply ... I am Maltese, I can't whisper. I can't wait to see another Maltese movie, we are a special unique breed and I enjoyed celebrating that while watching Two Brothers from Malta.

It was wonderful to experience the full-house Melbourne screening of this movie - the movie is very relatable as a first generation Australian/Maltese and captures some of our authentic cultural traits with humility and humour, while respecting the boundaries of comedy, with a good story line - the family production of this movie is a wonderful achievement and the connectivity with Julian on the day to hear how this was all achieved was fantastic.

May the support and funding continue to showcase and appreciate the Maltese culture and how it is embedded across the world for many generations to come and hopefully, a series or this narrative!

Went to see this premiere last night of the feature film after being a fan of the YouTube series. I was blown away I didn't expect it, being a indi film, looked like a studio to me.

Smart script obviously skewed to a Maltese audience but being of an ethnic culture it was like sitting in my family room. Great banter between the two brothers that kept us all laughing and the Maltese cracking up!!

Joe reminds me so much of Maltese mates dad growing up, the accents were so authentic.

It's great to see some diversity in Julian's ability as a film maker when both good first feature films were romantic movies, so well done Julian!

I recommend you give out a go...

Just watched this very funny movie and highly recommend if your Maltese or not... most people know at least one Maltese person in their lives and Julian and James have depicted their real life family members in a well written, entertaining and edited movie. I'm Maltese and found it wonderful to finally relate to characters on a big screen from my mother land. I thought the story line was clever and could imagine these two Maltese gents taking a real trip like the one in the movie. Even the cute dog in film was a star! Great to see Julian bring these characters to main stream and keep the Maltese culture in Australia alive. Thankyou Julian and James.

I felt like I was watching my own family up there, it almost brought a tear to my eye.

Well done Julian for being able to show us the fundamental importance of the family unit, (even a dysfunctional one like Joe & Charlie) and then mix it in with some very light hearted rancour that played on the multicultural antics of Maltese people living in a Western country like Australia or the US.

A must watch movie for those who still appreciate a well thought out story and script and who dread having to watch another meaningless empty Hollywood Sci-fi superhero movie which seems to be in the majority these days.
