Writer/director Rodrigo Garcia is usually drawn to stories of personal strife. He’s interested in the human experience, focusing on how characters react to challenges in their lives, delivering often deeply flawed but reasonably felt endeavors such as “Albert Nobbs,” “Four Good Days,” and “Mother and Child.” He’s no stranger to melodrama, which makes the relative stillness of “Raymond & Ray” something to celebrate. Garcia cooks up a tale of half-brothers facing the death of their father, tasked with managing last requests from a man who never cared about them, sending them on a journey of self-inspection, processing their worth. “Raymond & Ray” features magnificent performances from the cast, but it also brings something special out of Garcia, who offers career-best work here, remaining patient with the players and their often inner odyssey of self-esteem and forgiveness.
