Review of Broken Embraces (2009) by Matthew O — 06 Aug 2010
Performance driven films are always any interesting type of film, a film squarely set on one performance to carry a film. Broken Embraces is such a film.
Penélope Cruz really does steal the show, and a worthy Oscar winning performance. The actress is undoubtly the strongest female actress at the moment.
With this it?s a shame that the script and pacing never tries to keep up with its lead, and with a series of un interesting characters the film drags, and is'nt that that moving or embracing.
The main problem is that I am not the target audience.
A well made film for the right audience but I feel I am the wrong demographic to give the film full credit.
