    why so many fake reviews?

    In a movie that wasnt even popular, what is the reason to put reviews saying 'exceptional' things, you wont earn anything from this. most 10* reviewers have only reviewed this film that nobody knows about haha its so funny...

    Just a regular usa gangsters war of neighbourhoods. Nothing really to see here, an average movie. it was barely ok i really cant find anything to write about the movie

    The Time I Didn't Read A Review Before Watching The Movie

    Are you serious?! I was SO not expecting that!

    Going through Netflix the other night looking for a background distraction while cleaning, I came across this movie, Brotherly Love. I'm from Philly, so why not check it out?

    Usually, I read about a movie before watching it. But, I read no synopsis, no reviews, and didn't care to know who was cast in this. Because the movie was just a distraction, I just hit the play and continued to clean.

    And then it happened.

    I stopped cleaning.

    An unpredictable story line with an all-star cast kept me glued to the screen.

    Great movies are simple in theory and challenging in execution. I imagine, to make a movie great, it requires two things: a good story and exceptional actors to tell it. This movie delivered on both.

    ----Who is this writer/director Jamal Hill? What else is he creating? How are there so many freakin' awesome actors in this ONE movie?!----

    So, if you were wondering… no, I didn't finish my cleaning the other night. (I know you were wondering… yes, you were). Instead, I watched this movie, which had me thinking about it the next day, and the next, and the next.

    We need more Mr. Hill. I'm just saying… we need more movies that command attention and that leave an impression. Very. Well. Done.

    We need a sequel

    This movie was so good and Quincy played such a good role I hated him in real life. Love this movie. Just shows how you can never trust anyone! We need a sequel and would love to see how their lives played out

    Excellent Film!

    I loved this movie, the story line, the actors and actresses and most definitely the music! I love emotional movies and this one did not fail to deliver. The depth of emotions were adequately displayed by a brilliant cast. I hope and pray the director (Jamal Hill) continues to provide and create more fabulous movies for the world to enjoy. It's a wonderful watch and I highly recommend it! You have real empathy for the actors and the situations that they find themselves in. What I took away from the movie was you never really, really know people. Treachery, lies, deceit, dishonesty, are traits we all possess at one time or another. But this film builds on the dreams and experiences of the characters and eloquently displays what can, does and will happen if you work hard and focus. Fabulous film. Definitely looking forward to Jamal Hill's next endeavor!

    A classic tale of family and love...great film.

    Jamal Hill has done an exceptional job with this story of forbidden love. The cinematography is superb and Keke Palmer and Cory Hardrict do an outstanding job. The narrative is very compelling. A great cast and production. Starting with a twist on the "typical" tale of a school girl crush, Brotherly Love takes us to the great streets of Philly with a new but still classic tale. The soundtrack is another great asset to the film and overall I very much enjoyed this film. This film made me think of a classic films Aaron Loves Angela, Cooley High and believe it or not, even Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Macy Gray per usual is always a delight to see as she plays the mother of Jackie (Palmer), Sergio (Eric D. Jill, Jr.) and June. Quincy Brown (also in DOPE) is a great male, love interest. I am looking forward to more films from Jamal Hill and also from Flavor Unit films.
