Brothers Should Do It

About This Movie

So, 'Brothers Should Do It' is quite the oddity from 1981. You’ve got two brothers who reconnect at a rodeo and dive into conversations about their escapades, which is already a wild premise, but then it takes a turn that certainly catches you off guard. The atmosphere feels a bit raw, with a kind of DIY charm that is emblematic of its time. There's this tension between humor and the personal exploration of relationships, which is interesting but also a little jarring. The pacing is uneven, swinging from light banter to some pretty intense moments. It’s not just about the shock value; there’s an exploration of intimacy and boundaries, which gives it a unique edge among its contemporaries. The performances, while not always polished, have a certain authenticity that feels genuine.

This film has a bit of a shadowy presence in the collector's market, mostly due to its obscure origins and the absence of a well-known director. As far as formats go, it has mainly circulated on VHS, with very few prints making it to any modern digital platforms, so finding a clean copy can be a real task. Collector interest is niche, but those who are into unconventional narratives or LGBTQ themes might find it worth the search.
