Viewing Notes
Brotherhood of Tears had an interesting premise but just fell flat with a pedestrian execution. Crime thrillers that just go through the generic paces don’t do much to engage me.
This was my seventh film of the festival and I almost missed it. My son had a jazz concert at 7pm. I drove straight from that at 8:10 to make the 9pm screening in downtown Denver. Pavilion is a fine theater but the parking downtown is a bunch of bullshit. I ended up paying more to park my car for two hours than I did for the ticket to see the film. Criminal.
