Brother (dir. Clement Virgo) x VIFF 2022.
Virgo’s adaptation constructs a moving portrait of Jamaican-Canadian identity in young men and all of its struggles. Juggling different timelines and characters’ ages gets difficult, but the film wisely focuses on the performances and mood clearly set by its specific time and place. Scarborough in the '90s feels so vividly realized just as the community of people dramatized are so recognizable despite any unfamiliarity with the setting or culture seen.
Premiered at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival as part of the Next Wave program.

i see that clement virgo's brother (2022) is on netflix. highly recommend, one of the best new movies i've seen in the past couple years. i was lucky to catch it at a film festival, and it's incredibly frustrating that it hasn't gotten a wide theater release. i would hate for it to get lost among all the streaming slop--it deserves better.
