Broken
Directed by Rufus Norris1h 31m2012
Three suburban English families' lives intertwine with tragic consequences.
Our read: Broken (2012) reads as a heavy, measured, grounded drama entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
Heavy, measured, measured drama, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, measured.
