Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert At a certain point, we think we're in on the moves of the con, and then we think we're not, and then we're not sure, and then we're wrong, and then we're right, and then we're wrong again, and we're entertained up to another certain point... | 13 | |
eye Weekly Adam Nayman What’s best about The Brothers Bloom, though, is the unusual way in which Johnson invites and then exploits our inherent wariness of con-man scenarios. The script frontloads most of its trickery and then dares us to take the disarming sincerity of the final moments at face value. It’s a gamble that pays off. | 10 | |
