Insights shared by those left behind sharpen the focus on the sacrifices made by those who go off to war -- a message that might have been clearer were the film not so self-serving.

It is striking that Brothers at War approaches this profound and complicated relationship between brothers by way of trauma and death.

PopMatters
3 stars out of 4 -- BROTHERS AT WAR is an honest, on-the-ground documentary....This is not a war film. It is a life film, and its scenes filmed at home are no less powerful than those filmed in Iraq.
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 3/4 --
Brothers at War would be interesting enough if it merely observed soldiers in their element as they chill behind friendly lines, but this documentary, which begins at a low key, gradually becomes intense and psychologically complicated.

Rademacher's limited mission and gee-whiz perspective make his agenda seem too personal and lacking in context.

Combining footage from the home front and the front lines, Brothers at War is the first comprehensive examination of life in Iraq through the eyes of a soldier and his loved ones.

[A] one-of-a-kind documentary about the disconnect between brothers -- filmed under extremely dangerous circumstances.
