I gotta say this looks like it might be a bit of fun.
The Sisters Brothers
The Sisters Brothers (2018) is a comedy Western based on a Best Selling Book called The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt.
It’s already gathering interest because of the book – and the Star Power of Joaquin Phoenix and Jake Gyllenhaal. But you can guess by the skull on the posters, that the humor may well be a bit dark in places. ?

“With The Sisters Brothers, Patrick deWitt pays homage to the classic Western, transforming it into an unforgettable comic tour de force. Filled with a remarkable cast of characters – losers, cheaters, and ne’er-do-wells from all stripes of life – and told by a complex and compelling narrator, it is a violent, lustful odyssey through the underworld of the 1850’s frontier that beautifully captures the humor, melancholy, and grit of the Old West and two brothers bound by blood, violence, and love.”
Well, I’m in! Love the cast and can’t wait to see it. Thanks for the head’s up.
Welcome! O Ya. I’ll give’r a look fer sure.
I know “dark” is “in” these days, but I would really appreciate more humor that is funny and where the ending isn’t bleak. Call me crazy, but I could really use some UPNESS in TV and movies.
They don’t make any Cat Ballou’s these days do they? We’ll have to see? With Phoenix in there, it’s not likely to be regular fare.
