“Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and The Band” is a scant but potent biopic and rock testimony about arguably America’s most talented band (The Band), with heavyweight directors Martin Scorsese and Ron Howard executive producing. The Band has been described, talent-, vision-, and influence-wise, as America’s version of the Beatles.
