Having seen this movie I must say that it's good! It has a good plot, a few but very talented actors and without doubt Susanne Bier is also a talented director.
I won't bother you with details about the movie since every body else do that, but I'd like to point at a few points where the movie has some grave errors: The brother who is in the Danish army comes from Jydske Dragon Regiment, a regiment placed in the center of Jutland and which is an army regiment. Nevertheless does the movie take place on Zealand which is a completely different part of Denmark and most of them talk with a dialect. Furthermore the regiments base is an airfield!??? It just bothers me that Susanne Bier hasn't made the effort to learn at least a little bit about the army before she made her film. It's such a great film but if you know a bit about the army you'll constantly be nagged about some flaws in her picture of the army. Another thing is that the soldiers doesn't act as real soldiers: Nothing said about the scenes that takes place in Afghanistan, nothing wrong here as far as I can see. It's just that soldiers tend to act a bit more masculine and hide emotions, but not the soldiers in "Brødre". In this film they all hug and talk to each other like normal people would do. Again: If you know a bit about the environment you'll be bothered with this, but it's probably not something other people will notice.
But again, a great film other than that. 8/10
