Warm and feel-good, all played for good laughs, both on and in front of the screen. A tear or 12 might also be shed.
Strikes just the right tone, or rather the right harmony, between laughter and drama, right up to its final, deeply moving movement. A feel-good movie!

LE JOURNAL DU DIMANCHE
A tale both amusing and full of heart that will have you playing or singing along to its irresistible finale. For good reason, it gained audience applause at the session I attended. It’s a treat; catch it if you can.
Heart-warming. Hits all the right emotional notes. A sincere and uplifting tale that is in tune with the spirit of underdog crowd-pleasers 'Brassed Off' and 'The Full Monty'.
A real charmer. Benjamin Lavernhe is wonderful, and Pierre Lottin equally splendid.
Hollywood should watch and learn how to do this kind of poignant, feelgood movie. Warm and sure-footed, the film has the feel of a richly satisfying meal in an excellent neighbourhood bistro. Old world pleasures of character and story are generously apportioned.
Sincere and lively. A sunny comedy-drama that will make you laugh and cry. Benjamin Lavernhe and Pierre Lottin shine as a duo.

The resounding audience favourite of the 2025 Alliance Française French Film Festival, writer/director Emmanuel Courcol's wildly entertaining new film MY BROTHER'S BAND follows two siblings separated by fate and reunited by music.

Thibaut (the exceptional Benjamin Lavernhe, Delicious, C’est la vie!) is an internationally renowned orchestra conductor who travels the world. When a health crisis and subsequent DNA test inadvertently reveals that he was adopted as an infant, Thibaut discovers the existence of a younger brother, Jimmy (rising star Pierre Lottin), who lives in more modest circumstances; he works in a school cafeteria, cares for his mother and plays the trombone in a community brass band. The pair seem to have little else in common other than a love of performance, but sensing his sibling’s talent, Thibaut decides to remedy the injustice of fate and help nurture his brother’s gifts.
