"Gyllenhaal is superb at channeling his confused feelings into physical awkwardness. He shows up at the family's house one morning, after a particularly unsettling episode, carrying construction materials for her kitchen.
"I brought you some moulding," he mutters, and sure enough, there it is, coiled into stiff loops that keep threatening to spring out of his arms.
But Portman doesn't quite meet Gyllenhaal's challenge. She holds back too much here, as if she has more invested in playing a dutiful wife and mother than she does in playing a human, sexual being. That may not be wholly her fault.
My biggest reservation about "Brothers" is the way it downplays, and too readily smooths over, the sexual attraction between Tommy and Grace. I'm not suggesting that this Hollywood version of "Brothers" needs graphic sex. (The original didn't have that, either.) But I worry that Sheridan, intentionally or otherwise, may have muted the characters' attraction to one another out of fear that American audiences expect more virtuous behavior from their war-torn families. Shot for shot, Sheridan's approach isn't radically different from Bier's. (The director of photography here is Frederick Elmes)". Source: www.salon.com

Hi Kendra,
in questi giorni nei giornali di gossip siamo innondati della notizia di Jake che abbia detto addio a Reese.
Poi altre notizie dicono che non sia affatto vero.-
Poi altre notizie dicono che Jake abbia fatto portare via le sue cose, dalla casa di Reese.
Insomma, cosa c'è di vero in tutto ciò, se l'unica cosa certa che sappiamo dalle foto, è che da 2 settimane circa non si fanno più vedere insieme ?
It's funny, Rosa, the timing of Jake's reference to his "girlfriend" Reese and her kids during the Brothers press conference in Beverly Hills after those break-up rumours. I don't doubt Jake feels affection for Reese and his kids though, I admire both of them, so I like Jake and Reese, together or separate.
Happy Sunday :)
i disagree, i thought the chemistry between Jake and Natalie was very real. the sexual tension between them had built up throughout to the point of disappointment when Tobey came back in the picture.
Yes, anonymous, I think this "forbidden" relationship between Tommy and Grace feels very real, despite of smoothness or subtleness insufled by Sheridan in their development, until the point that when Sam retuns home, there is released this unbelievable tension - tension produced by the brief but intense flirt between Gyllenhaal and Portman's characters. I have to watch "Brothers" yet, but I think this special friendship Jake and Natalie have shared throughout the years is going to benefit their romance on-screen.
