Synopsis
Just Like Brothers (Comme des frères, 2012) is a French comedy directed by Hugo Gélin — watch online on iFILM. Three men with nothing in common except one woman receive her final request: meet at a house in Corsica. Charlie is gone, and somehow she still managed to pull them together.
Boris runs a successful business and has no time for nonsense. Elie writes screenplays through the night and keeps to himself. Maxime still lives with his mother and doesn't seem pressed. Five hundred-odd miles in the same car is a long time. Pierre Niney, Nicolas Duvauchelle and François-Xavier Demaison play the friction and the gradual thaw without overdoing either. Mélanie Thierry appears in flashbacks as Charlie, sketching in just enough of her to understand what each man lost.
Gélin's debut feature sat comfortably in French box-office charts on release and earned praise for keeping the sentiment honest rather than sentimental. Stream Just Like Brothers (2012) online on iFILM — a road film about grief that happens to be funny most of the way.
