Laila Brothers, similar to the previous village film, begins with elaborate sequences and busy mise-en-scènes; Something that can act as a hook for the audience and make them stick to the movie right from the beginning. Both the factory scene and the mosque scene have such characteristics. But the problems of the film also arise from here. In a film that is realistic - in accordance with the previous films of its producer and in accordance with the general hypothesis of Iranian cinema - the events in the factory cannot be rationally justified. Generally, the element of "logic", which is one of the three main pillars of any screenplay, is taken less seriously in Iranian cinema, and this issue can be considered as one of the general plagues of Iranian cinema. In this sequence, there are many speculations about the reason for the sudden closure of the factory (while everyone is working, it is suddenly reported that there are no raw materials), the director's sudden and seemingly planned protest (when and where were all those placards and writings prepared?) and the sudden presence and He brought in all the security forces for no reason. Things that the film cannot answer. In this way, the realist logic of the whole sequence goes up in smoke.
In the continuation of this sequence, there is a moment that is the highlight of this issue: while Alireza is going down the stairs, suddenly and without any reason, someone grabs his hand and utters a dialogue that seems to have come down from the sky: "The one who..." is called "dishonored and cowardly" from here, the main problem of Leila brothers is highlighted: rhetorical dialogues. The movie is full of these dialogues. Dialogues that do not come out of the characters' tongues; Rather, it is as if a hand came from the unseen and put that sentence in the mouth of that character.
Dialogues that neither fit the character nor are written and acted in such a way that they don't come out of the scene. Many dialogues that Alireza and Leila exchange with each other - especially in the scenes on the roof - are of this type. Collage-like dialogues as if a villager found them from different places and books and spread them in the script.
