Brothers from Malta

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.

What a great story about two hard headed brothers with a soft heart brought together by a loving sister . It defines the Maltese culture. Caring, loving, with a twist of hot temper and stubbornness. When you sit back listening carefully you get to absorb and understand the funny punch lines that where so cleverly put together. I highly recommend that every Maltese or Maltese connected person to go and see brothers from Malta. I probably would have liked to see a little more relating to the father and mother and a little more dialogue in Maltese however for a low budget movie with a small cast the Galeas managed to get the point across. " life is too short to hold a grudge"

Proset.

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.

Fabulous, fun ... and you don't have to be Maltese to love it! So many classic family and sibling situations that are so funny and are so relatable across all cultures (even had my German husband laughing and nodding throughout).

It's heart-warming entertainment pure, with deep family messages and yes, there's a dog in it too.

The authenticity of the film is so apparent in so many little aspects - from the absolutely authentic Maltese characters and their accents to the old family photos from Malta, and also the interior decorating style of Jo's home.

This is definitely the best way to embrace your inner Maltese in a cinematic way. A good-feel movie with cultural depth and a big warm Maltese heart!

All that leaves to be said is that I'm now waiting for "Brothers from Malta 2: Roxie rules".

We loved Brothers From Malta, the whole cinema was loving it with many laughs along the way. This film will bring back many of your childhood memories from Malta. Definitely worth going to see.

There are a couple of Maltese words during the movie and when I was translating them to my boys they could not stop laughing. Julian has dove a great job in making this film, can't wait for more to come. The cinema I was at was quite full with people with Maltese heritage and they all loved it. If you get a chance go and see this while it's there it at the selected cinemas, take your parents as they will love it for sure.
