Watch The Brave For Free

Best movie of this year hands down!

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

that kind of movie who could become a mirror. dark, honest, a not complicated story about sacrifice, options, hope and the rhythm of a small group looking happiness. almost brutal as example of honesty, it is proof of refined art. because propose an actor and a director who have profound science to explore each detail in splendid manner. because the result is a large fresco about pain and about not ordinary joy. because it is not a manifesto or a fresco, but a testimony. because it defines Johnny Depp in a new light, not surprising but unusual. it is a not easy film because the message is result of each image. because the purpose is to give a fascinating story of life without any ornament. only the naked truth. and that fact transforms it in support of reflection. short, not an easy film. but useful .

I was completely blown away by this movie.Johnny Depp is glorious as Raphael, what an outstanding movie. it left me heartbroken and shattered. Brilliant movie that needed several more viewings, once was not enough to absorb all that is there to be comprehended. There is a lot to absorb in this movie, Johnny co-wrote the script and also Directed it, if he decides to change from an actor and decides to continue as a Director there is not way he wouldn't succeed. I hadn't heard of this movie, I discovered it when I researched a list of movies he had made it. I am do pleased that I bought it knowing nothing about it. It certainly isn't a light and fluffy movie, but, well worth watching.

I am surprised that I had heard nothing of this movie ... but then I read that the talented Mr Depp had refused to show it after the controversy surrounding it ... which is very disappointing. Maybe you should have been a little more BRAVE about that choice Johnny, because a lot of people have missed a masterpiece and I don't call it that lightly.The direction was superb ... as was the story. There was not a word spoken for so much of the beginning of the movie, but we already had a sense of the character emerging before us, and the desperation he was facing.I watched the impending doom of the finale with such a heavy heart. A husband and father who had remained incredibly distant to those close to him ... (probably due to the desperation of the circumstances, and his feeling that he could not be there for them without providing) become so intensely sensitive and present to them, only to face the ironic and inevitable choice he had made to protect them. The plight of these disadvantaged people was immensely painful, yet the joy they got from the simple things was so touching.The scenery, whilst not pretty by any means, only added to the depression and desperation. The soundtrack was perfect in all scenes, and the ending scene was just as it should have been ...Mr Depp ... your talent is boundless ... and you should not shy away from producing, directing and writing - simply because of some who obviously could not see the big picture of this simply understated movie!

I am a cinema maniac and have a DVD collection of nearly 1200 movies besides other 300 VHS, including all the Hollywood Academy Award Winners. My tastes go to Italian, English, French and American films of 1930,40, 50 and 60. But I see and buy films of today even being the distribution here around 90% of American films, the majority very bad, not to mention the real word. I missed THE BRAVE when it passed here in our cinemas and yesterday I noticed by chance that it was to be shown on TV. AS the director was Johnny Depp I decided to see it. I knew J. Depp as an actor only. I enjoyed the film very much. It has substance and so I decided to keep it. However Leonard Maltin's 2008 MOVIE GUIDE does not even mention it. Why ? Why did Johnny Depp not let his film to be released in the U.S. . Can someone please explain ?
