This is such a mediocre film. We’ve seen numerous films, many of them at past editions of DIFF, that deal with the same subject My Brother The Devil deals with — an adolescent’s attraction to the money and glamour of all things wrong, before they realize their ways and fix all that went wrong. A variation is when a younger sibling/friend who looks up to the elder one’s *cool* ways, before the elder person realizes their folly and saves the younger one from the wrong path. In fact, last year’s Combat Girl dealt with the same subject, albeit set in London makes this movie have different themes. Here, elder brother Rashid runs weed deliveries to make quick money. His younger brother Mo looks up to Rashid’s *cool* lifestyle. Before you know it, things go bad, Rashid wants out, Mo wants in, Rashid wants Mo out. The film meanders around different things; midway, we learn Rashid’s sexual orientation isn’t exactly orthodox, and this becomes a short-term detour in the story. My Brother The Devil does not accomplish anything unique or even different, in what it has to say or how it says it.
