My Brother Jordan

Ever since I can remember, I have been obsessed with movies. From superhero Marvel movies, to classics such as The Shawshank Redemption, to hidden gems like Warrior, I genuinely love watching movies. However, while I very often rate movies here on IMDb, I have NEVER left a written review because I know that whatever I was going to say will have already been said by hundreds, if not thousands of others. But after watching this documentary, I felt urged to write a review because 1) this movie needs to be seen by EVERYBODY, 2) I don't care if someone has already said the things I'm going to say, this documentary deserves it.

I do not watch that many documentaries. In fact, I can probably count on one hand the amount of docs I have seen; so the fact that I watched this was somewhat of a miracle. It was recommended to my YouTube feed three times, so I finally decided to at least click on it to see what it was about. I was hooked instantly.

I don't know if it was the raw emotion right out of the gates by Justin, or if it was the editing of the beginning, but I started watching and could not stop. As a senior in college, I have a lot of things on my plate that I am juggling - and spending an hour just sitting and watching a video is not one that typically takes priority. However, after 2 minutes of watching, I forgot about everything else. I was even late to a meeting because I completely lost track of time.

I realize I have not really said a single thing about the movie, but honestly that's a good thing because you should just experience it for yourself. My Brother Jordan is an amazing documentation of brothers and family and love. I am so thankful that this documentary was randomly recommended to me, because it reminded me of all the blessings that God has provided me and how I should never take things for granted.

Give this a watch. It is only an hour long ... but if you are like me, you will want to watch it more than once. Fantastic documentary.

Cannot say enough about the heartache and brilliance of this film. I laughed, I cried, I reflected, and I hoped. It is a labor of love but also a work of art.

It is a filmmaker's job to tell a story well. It is a brother's job to keep a memory alive.

The power of the intersection of these two responsibilities in "My Brother Jordan" is indescribable.

I accidentally clicked on this documentary, but thought I'd give it a few minutes since I was already there. I watched it not just once, but twice. What a beautifully made tribute to a brother whose impact will remain forever with his family and friends. The interviews were so raw and truthful. May we all be remembered as well as Jordan is. Thanks to Jordan's brother, Justin, for sharing his brother with the world.

"My Brother Jordan" is a deeply moving film that touches on life, death, and the game of basketball. More than anything it is a story of a brother's unending, selfless love. 100% Recommend.

A beautiful and humble reminder of what humanity is truly about. Engaging, well edited, thoughtful.
