Interesting comments. I said about BROTHERS "It has to disturb. Otherwise it wouldn't have done its job. But I felt so brutalized by this film that I could barely think. " I thought several characters were so broadly drawn we can't sympathize with them. And then there was the remake.

I was much more impressed by AFTER THE WEDDING and called it "a splendid film." The focus with her collaborator on issues and events of large significance is admirable, but it works better when the filmmakers know the subject of which they speak. I didn't feel that was true in the Afghanistan segments of BROTHERS. Things went better with AFTER THE WEDDING, and I liked the rich global sweep. Definitely a filmmaker to watch, but I'd have to see more of her work in person to make an overall judgment.
