Have you ever had that miserable feeling wondering about the trajectory of where your life was headed feeling like a failure and walked into a joyous family situation? Did you feel like crawling under the carpet?
Cole (Alden Ehrenreich) is a struggling musician down on his luck living out of his car. His brother Jacob (Nick Robinson) as a director is about to attend the premiere of his first movie amidst extensive press coverage. Cole and family assemble at his parent’s house to a welcome party for the returning success story Jacob.
Cole has received an offer to download contents of his brother’s computer for sleaze journalistic purposes making him some $80,000 richer.
After piking Jacob’s laptop Cole notices a draft letter in its files addressed to him describing an earlier time when brotherly connections were strong and Jacob so badly needed his support. Would have Cole sold the download had not there been a tapping on his car window?
One facet of a short film is it has less time to deliver its message and in “Shadow Brother Sunday” a strong and powerful delivery is made.
Writer and director is Alden Ehrenreich.
RKS 2024 Film Rating 93/100.
