Brotherhood of Tears

Brotherhood of Tears (La Confrérie des larmes, 2013) is a Franco-Belgian thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Gabriel Chevalier is a former cop pushing forty-five: no job, no direction, barely keeping it together as a single father. Then a tip leads him to a well-paid courier gig — deliver the briefcase, follow the address, never open it.

Director Jean-Baptiste Andrea builds tension from mood rather than action. Jérémie Renier — a regular of Dardenne brothers cinema — carries the film on very little, his character's old instincts slowly surfacing across stranger and stranger drop-offs. Audrey Fleurot and an early Vicky Krieps fill out the cast. Stream Brotherhood of Tears online on iFILM.
