Fun and light-hearted, The Sisters Brothers is a film that graciously fulfils the requirements if you’re looking for a Western that’s completely content with being itself.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 14, 2024

…The Sisters Brothers is a violent, bleakly funny, spikey and constantly surprising movie that evokes the best of Sergio Leone, and that’s quite a high bar for any modern Western…

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 29, 2024

Despite its shaky tone, some of the humor lands really well. And it’s a lot of fun watching such an eclectic cast bite into this fascinating assortment of characters.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 25, 2022

With memorable performances throughout this extraordinary cast, The Sisters Brothers is another Audiard film whose tonality withstands categorization. It's neither a straightforward Western nor merely revisionist.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Mar 11, 2022

A loose, funny, thoughtful and near-surreal western.

| Original Score: 76/100 | Sep 1, 2021

Plays like a movie that yearns to say something without knowing what it would like to say

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 5, 2021

It's a buddy flick and a Western but it's also more than the sum of its parts.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 1, 2021

An absorbing character study that alternates its carnage with a poignancy that borders on poetic.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Dec 7, 2020

Daring itself to be different and welcomed by some outstanding performances from its four leads, it's not destined to change the world, but you won't regret watching it either.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 27, 2020

Audiard gives the whole movie a very bizarre feel, crafting a western that feels at once a part of the genre and something entirely different.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 16, 2020

By sprinkling a variance of ideas and emotions across a plane far and wide, [Audiard] ends up with a film of ambition and patience that works more often than it doesn't.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 25, 2020

For a movie clocking in at a shade over two hours, The Sisters Brothers drags too long before giving a reason to care about the characters' repetitive struggles.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jul 18, 2020

Audiard, in his first English-speaking film, runs a western that stands out, almost always, using the genre's parameters with measure. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 27, 2020

Neither a nostalgic throwback to traditional westerns nor a revisionist antiwestern, this advances a positive view of camaraderie between individualist western types while subtly critiquing the unfettered capitalist system in which they operate.

| Mar 4, 2020

An uneven tone robs the film of a bit of momentum and coherence, but the lead performances and Audiard's proven visual skill mean it never falls out of the saddle.

A film that you want to love. [Full review in Spanish]

Overall, The Sisters Brothers offers great performances amid an intriguing premise. Along with its beautiful cinematography, it is a surprise of a Western.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 7, 2019

By turns intense, hilarious and casually contemplative, it draws you in on the promise of simple thrills then wins you over with a sophisticated, all-around surprising ride.

If this is Audiard's first major foray into stateside filmmaking, one can only hope it won't be his last.
