But this family does not have the luxury of riding the rollercoaster of wacky familial hijinks, because the patriarchal system to which they belong is nakedly corrupt, and the larger economy in which they are trying to survive is increasingly, impossibly dire.

The movie could have just shown Leila's "friendly conversations" with her parents to reveal their avarice and I would still consider this movie great, but credit goes to writer/director Roustayi for going further and revealing why they are mortgaging their progeny's future.

Despite all of that, Leila's Brothers is a film that can really speak to all of us in what seems an uninhibited way, and once in tune with it's ebbs and flows I really connected to it's characters in a way that had me feeling I was a part of Leila's family.
