In this portrait of parental sacrifice and the love of a father for his son, former wrestler Kakhi (played by real-life Olympic champion Levan Tediashvili) embarks on a journey from his home in the Republic of Georgia to visit his son Soso (Giorgi Tabidze) in the Russian-speaking neighborhood of Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. There he finds him living in a shabby boarding house populated by a colorful group of fellow Georgian immigrants. Soso is not studying medicine, as Kakhi believed, but is working for a moving company and has accrued a $14,000 gambling debt to a local Russian mob boss. Kakhi sets his mind to helping his hapless son out of his debt, leading to situations as often comic as they are dire.

Critics Consensus

A character-driven tragicomedy with surprising emotional weight, Brighton 4th pays sweetly affecting tribute to the power of parental love.

3.5/4

A tragicomedy that sneaks up on you stealthily before flooring you with an emotional sucker punch in the final reel.

3/5

Koguashvili prefers an intermittent caustic humor, connecting us with his sensitive character as he finds enough cultural specificity to keep the story afloat.

3/4

Though Levan Tediashvili is hardly an expressive actor, his minimalist performance proves more affecting than that of a calculated approach. Kakhi looks as if nothing could rattle him, but he learns the hard way that stoicism has its limits.

Many of the actors in Brighton 4th, including the lead, are nonprofessionals... Coupled with the use of real locations and unfussy cinematography by Phedon Papamichael, the result is something that frequently feels like documentary rather than fiction.
