Two brothers spend a weekend in Hollywood. One is an actor, his brother a is a law student. Over the course of the weekend their relationship is going to be challenged.
Dillon Daniel Mutyaba and Omete Anassi knock it out of the park as brothers Alhaji and Sheku. Their performances are true movie magic. Their performances are the sort of thing that should be in the running for an ensemble award at years end but the film being primarily a two hander is going to end up being over looked. It's a shame because they are so good you'll want to continue on with their story.
Having two brothers I could feel all of the emotions that a brother feels for his siblings. It gets the dynamics right in a real world sense that most movies never manage.
While the jockeying between the brothers who are both shifting what they are doing is interesting the real joy here is watching the two actors inhabit their roles. They are so good at what they are doing that you don’t really care about what they are saying rather you just get sucked in because you feel the connection that they have for each other. You want to be in that space with them and just hang out.
I absolutely loved this film.
This is one to put on your list of films to see at Slamdance.
