Critics consensus

“Brotherhood 's fast-paced look at a fraternity pledge gone nightmarishly wrong has a kinetic pull that isn't always strong enough to overcome a hollow narrative.”

The gathering implausibility is dispelled by a nice ending twist.

Brotherhood has its faults -- the plot unravels a fair bit -- but the Tarantino homage is reasonable and the nightmarish atmosphere well maintained, with bizarre black-comic jolts.

Ingeniously constructed and propulsively paced.

The film is an interesting intellectual game where there is no sin without penance. [Full review in Spanish]
