First Showing:
"Everything always goes wrong...! Why do only bad things happen?" Today's worth watching trailer is a British coming-of-age drama called Broken, starring the esteemed actors Tim Roth and Cillian Murphy with Rory Kinnear and Zana Marjanovic, but they're not actually the main focus of this film. Broken is the story of a young girl, played by newcomer Eloise Laurence, in North London whose life changes after witnessing a violent attack. The trailer lays out most of the story and world in which this occurs. It gets a bit odd when a car drops in the background, plus the guy dancing in the parking lot, but it doesn't look too bad.
TF:
The Britain in this BIFA-winning debut feature from theatre helmer Rufus Norris may not be broken, but it sure is fractured.
Georgie Oatley writes: "Broken is bleak outlook on modern sensibilities, seen through the eyes of 11 year old Skunk (Eloise Laurence) as her families’ and her neighbours lives unravel in a confusion of repression and deceit."
Empire Online:
Adapted from a novel by Daniel Clay, Broken promises to mirror the raw suburban melodrama of its source. Debut director Rufus Norris has assembled a strong cast, Tim Roth and Cillian Murphy included, in a story that pulls up in a seemingly serene British cul-de-sac and, as this world exclusive new trailer hints, quickly starts uncovering some dark truths.
I love Tim Roth but this really isn't my type of movie. I can wait til it comes out on tv.
