Summary

Age gaps are hard enough to navigate between siblings, but add in a very different relationship to their shared parent and, for Adam, the fact he is part of the LGBTQIA+ community, which his little brother Mose hasn’t had a lot of experience with? It makes Mose’s sudden showing up awkward, but a chance for not only healing but for a sibling relationship to evolve.

  • A Good Taste Of What Could Be Done [82/100]

Overall

Our Rating (82/100): Positive (Worth Seeing)

Like the majority of shorts, Stranger, Brother is just a taste, and what we have here is what we need when it comes to diversity. From people of color part of the LGBTQIA+ community, complex relationships between friends and family, and the sense that, similar to Mutt, as complicated as adult relationships can be, relationships to children, even with a blank slate, can be just as hard?

What we get with Stranger, Brother is a soft reset for Adam in which, as you watch him try to discard the blueprint of what blood family is like, as he tries to bond with Mose, you get a sense of healing. Maybe not the kind he wanted, in the way he wanted, but through Mose, it appears the first steps may actually be taken.
