I was invited by the director Renata Jones to the premiere of We, Brothers, and I must admit I didn’t know what to expect. But I was very surprised. The film draws you in from the very first scene with its noir tone and vintage atmosphere. The cast delivers great performances, especially the two at the center of the story, who create a believable bond full of tension and unspoken emotion.

Visually, it’s impressive and it feels like stepping into a 1940s gangster film, yet there’s a distinctly modern, Brazilian soul behind it all. It’s short but very stylish and it left me wanting more. A bold piece of cinema. Hats off to the director and the crew for pulling this off with such finesse. 10/10

One of the most striking aspects of We, Brothers for me is its setting, a beautifully preserved 30s house that becomes a character in itself. Every corner, every shadow feels alive with history. The production design leans heavily into this space, creating an atmosphere that instantly transports you to a noir inspired world!

The cinematography is rich and moody, playing masterfully with light and shadow. The use of deep contrast and close, intimate framing enhances the tension between the characters, while the warm vintage tones evoke a sense of both nostalgia and danger.

Together, the location, art direction, and visual style elevate the film far beyond what you’d expect from a short film. It feels like a time capsule! A lost reel from classic cinema rediscovered.

Translated to English: Personally invited by director Renata Jones to the much anticipated premiere of We, Brothers, I entered the theater not sure what to expect and left me really really impressed! The 30-minute short delivers a rare aesthetic experience in contemporary Brazilian cinema, blending noir atmosphere, psychological tension, and visual elegance with striking precision.

One of the film’s most memorable moments comes with a mention of Veronica Lake, the iconic 40s Hollywood actress! Far from a casual reference, the mention serves as a thematic key to the entire work because Jones isn’t merely telling a story about two brothers, she’s channeling the spirit of classic cinema, embedding it into the DNA of a deeply modern tale!

We, Brothers stands as a stylish and tightly crafted piece that lingers in the mind long after the screen fades to black.

Congratuations to the team and actors!
