This movie was so good and Quincy played such a good role I hated him in real life. Love this movie. Just shows how you can never trust anyone! We need a sequel and would love to see how their lives played out

This movies was amazing! This movie took the viewer through the journey of the characters who were well played by the cast. This movie made you feel every moment and emotion the characters went through such as happiness, fear, love and tears. It's a great coming of age movie that shared a strong message throughout the movie. Not only was this shocking but it was unexpected. This movie just wants you asking for more, it would be great if there was a second part to this. Plus I would also acknowledge the crew that was behind this movie and who made this possible it couldn't have been any better! Please consider making a second movie this was great!

This movie is truly enjoyable. Being as though I have a Netflix account, I have been fortunate enough to watch this film multiple times. most likely, I've watched this movie about 7 or 8 times. if you are one who does not have access to the movie, in my opinion, it would be worth the $10 you'll spend to rent it. With great actresses like Keke Palmer and actors Quincy Brown and Cory Hardwick Jr., this film was destine to be a hit with the younger audience.
This movie is basically about the community in Philadelphia, which is divided between the upper class and the middle/ lower class. Although they don't get along, all the students attend Overbrook High. The story follows a group of siblings who pay the price for their oldest brother June's decision to kill a few upper class dealers. A cousin of one of the boys ( Quincy Brown), who was murdered and witnessed the shooting, plans revenge by sweeping the sister off her feet, just to get close to the brother that committed the murders. it all comes back to haunt the family.
Some cinematography included in this film are Slow Motion and Zoom and short like blinking clips. One example of the Slowed Motion scenes is when June has the big basketball game against a rival school. When he scores throughout the game, it is slowed down to emphasize his impact on the game and how well he is playing. Also when he scores the winning basket.
If I had to change one thing abut this film, it would most likely be the ending. The brother is murdered by the cousin and leaves the sister heartbroken with the loss of her brother and the actions of her first real love and significant other. I would have let June live and the cousin gets past what happen to his cousin.

An epic lite tale of making it out of the hood is the focus of Brotherly Love. Overbrimming w/plot & incident, this film begs to have been a series to work all the characters & plotlines. As it is, this movie which stars KeKe Palmer suffers from so much that we can't focus on what transpires in front of us. A shame since it is well shot & the actors do give it their all.

This movie was just so touching and had a story to it. I really would like if a second one was made. I loved the movie, I loved the actors in it, and I loved the message that was persuade. I appreciated everything that the movie stands for because there needs to be attention brought to issues like this and how to overcome it all. I truly believe that a second brotherly love should be made with another message of how everybody is doing now and what's going on In their lives and how they overcome other challenges when it comes to violence please make a second brotherly love! I know that the younger audience will definitely understand what you all are saying and the message that you guys are portraying. It gets to us and we can understand. I am just filled with joy because the audience that have reached can relate to a lot of things that happened in the movie. So they will feel what is supposed to be felt and I believe that they will make a change in the society today, in our generation today. Thank you for putting it out there and letting it be known that we need to make a difference we need to step up and be the bigger person and take a stand to violence.

I thought this movie was predictable until it got near the end ... then everything flipped. Interesting surprises. All the good guys aren't good and all the bad aren't that bad. Lots of actors I haven't seen before, so in that regard it was very fresh. I hope to see some of these young actors in the near future. See if you can find one of the young actors from The Wire in this. Tell the director to keep on directing ... This film reminded me of Spike Lee's earlier films, such as She's Got to Have It; a little rough around the edges but valuable nonetheless. It's not too violent, not too much sex, and not too much profanity. Okay for teens; lessons can be learned without the overkill of other "in the hood" movies. It's short in length and worth $10.00 or so. I'm middle aged, wasn't bored with the teen stuff and was completely taken off guard and was refreshed by the ending.

It just felt right! Awesome movie, awesome cast, awesome production. As a 21 year old it's nice to see what our generation can contribute to film and this will be one of those classics that kids will watch 20 years from now. Young Black Hollywood was so well represented in this - Keke Palmer, Logan Browning, Jay Lewis, Justin Martin, and more. The promo was dope for this because some of the cast members visited my school and we appreciated that. I'm glad Cory hardrict could shine bright in this because he's truly talented and Hollywood needs to see him more! Brotherly Love was well written and surprisingly did not end how I thought! Jamal Hill is an inspiration because I've seen his other films and the growth from those to this gives young filmmakers and dreamers hope. Go see it now!
