Brothers from Malta

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...

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.

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.

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".
