Review of Bros

Bros (I) (2022)
8/10
Funny as much as it is endearing
22 October 2022
This film is an honest depiction of a modern gay relationship. Billy Eichner provides insight into a relatively simple gay life experience that movies graze over in favor of "gay trauma". There is none of the gay trauma Hollywood banks on. Eichner is very aware of the tropes and is keen on avoiding them, even poking fun at these common depictions. Luke Macfarlane stole the show for me. He was compelling, raw and perfectly believable in his role as a charming yet misunderstood "bro". This film is definitely worth it. The plot is solid, the acting is good (albeit Eichner is an earful and some scenes are his personal rantings that he wants an audience for, but he's introspective too, to a fault some would say). There's charm, satire, sexiness, romance and drama. Everything needed in a classic rom com.
