	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide Screendaily	"Ferit Karahan’s superb second feature (...) There are similarities with Cristi Puiu’s The Death Of Mr. Lazarescu, although Brother’s Keeper is a leaner and more propulsive piece of storytelling"	POS
	Vladan Petkovic Cineuropa	"A technically accomplished but conceptually flawed and often tone-deaf drama (...) the message the film sends are disappointing and feel very naive."	NEU
United States	Kevin Jagernauth The Playlist	"The film’s haunting conclusion is a pointed, damning echo between fiction and that reality, and a disarming snapshot of resignation and injustice that lingers like so much fallen snow."	POS
United States	Jay Weissberg Variety	"Well-made yet predictable drama (...) Worthy in message and filmmaking prowess, 'Brother’s Keeper' is ill-served by its lack of nuanced characters"	NEU
United States	Glenn Kenny rogerebert.com	"This is a heart-rending, bracing story, told with such immediacy (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
