Review of Brother (2010) by Jose B — 21 Feb 2012

FÃºtbol y familia! Hermano representa un drama Venezolano ambientado en los barrios de Caracas. Honesta y sensible, un tema universal sobre el talento deportivo que se encuentra rodeado de pobreza y violencia.

Una de las mejores pelÃculas Venezolanas en mucho tiempo.
