Review of This Movie Is Broken (2010) by Ben T — 07 Aug 2010

Director Bruce McDonald did it again! Surprisingly, it's one of the better Canadian films around lately. Stylistically, it's very French cinema Verite - natural and observational. It's a fly on the wall of two twenty-something characters that wondered Toronto aimlessly one hot summer night.

It made you want to root for the slacker race track dude - Bruno (Greg Calderone). The Broken Social Scene concert sequences were energetic, fresh, hopping and socking. The emotions of the girl and the guy were well reflected to the beats of the BSS songs.

This Movie Is Broken was hardly a wreck. Rather, it was a sweet mid-summer musical interlude!
