Skewers the world of contemporary art in a way that's insightful and funny without becoming a broad parody.

The impenetrable gallery jargon is quite funny at first, and the brothers' twisted relationship is set up nicely, but the movie errs when it takes itself seriously.

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
