I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I have not seen any film like this in recent years! the film starts, you begin to watch the movie, and it ends while you want to watch! I didn't mean that it is great movie that you probably don't want to reach its end, but rather, I meant exactly the opposite. it likes that someone has cut the original movie in 100 pieces and picked just 10 of them from exact the middle and created this partial film eventually. after it ends, you will notice that you cannot say anything about the beginning, where the film was started. and even you cannot say anything about the ending; and this is what I actually meant while talking about "partial film" the story has no start, nor end and you feel that this movie should has part 1, 2, 3 and 4 where this movie should be watched, and parts 6, 7 and 8 should exist. no story exists! there is a family that lives normally till suddenly the exact same copy of them are starting to come out from inside the mirror and kills the other copy, one by one, but you cannot find any scene, speech, fragment. etc about the reason for this happenings. there is no story that the film follows, why these copy comes from inside the mirror? what was happen at the past of these characters, so they are going to be killed? what is the relevance between the characters, their lives, the story, the start, the end, and so on and so forth? maybe you find yourself sticked to the movie at the first, but while it reach to the end, you will feel empty! yes, you can find horror-movie-like background music during the whole time, but it is like you are standing out of the cinema, and listening to it without knowing what is going on inside. with very poor scenario and very poor characters, there is nothing to say about this movie. the final words: just crappy movie that dreamed to be categorized as horror! but it failed very bad! if you don't believe me, you van take your chance and waste your 90 minutes of your time to believe me!

A film with an interesting premise that never quite materializes, "Broken" presents a good cast of actors who are not allowed to realize their full talents. The opening quotation from Edgar Allen Poe remains an unfulfilled mystery. The shattered mirrors in various locations don't make sense. The heavy music designed to heighten our worry is overdone. Better to have left it away. There are elements of Hitchcock but they never come together to form a coherent story. Instead, we are led down various paths as the young woman protagonist tries to sort things out after being injured in an auto crash. And we are none the wiser for her attempts. The worst thing about the film as that it is boring and drags in places. The relationships between the different characters in the film are tenuous and often inexplicable. We are left to make assumptions about who they are and how they relate to one another. A waste of fine talent. In the end we are left holding the bag (of popcorn?) without a denouement that would help us understand what the author/director was driving at. In summary,"Broken" leaves us wondering what exactly the young woman experienced and whether she was able to overcome her apparent mental difficulties.At one point she undergoes a series of brain scans and when her doctors say these are inconclusive and she would need to submit to more tests, she refuses and leaves the hospital. So what? It's easy to assume that she's intimidated by a bunch of men in white smocks looking at scans of her brain, but there's got to be more to it. We cannot see the conclusions she draws from her experience. Instead, we are led on a wild goose chase. This is another film about women as victims. Very disappointing.

Well, my streak of good movies has shattered into pieces, and yet the theme is the one that pinches my fear button (see my review for "Aliens are coming"). Thus, it's about our dear ones being changed by twin evil ones. Here, they come from outside the mirrors (as in Carpenter's "prince of darkness"). It's a solid idea that can be very scary but it needs also some stuff to grow the seed.Unfortunately, there's not such development here. The movie is already ultra short (90 minutes) and inside, it's pretty much empty: the scenes are deadly slow, there aren't much dialogs and at the end, it's dull and boring. Worse, the colors are pale, bleak so it's really depressing!The only things to give pulse, it's the London location (with the tube), the twist about the car crash and Lena Headey as she has indeed a strong talent and presence to carry the movie over her only shoulders.

i can only say it was quite tense and scary to the end.misleading too, since many times when tension was being built up like, you know - don't go there!, look behind you!, music getting more and more to a crescendo - and then - nothing! and right after it - the tension building up again and even scarier and again - nothing, lol.but occasionally there were scares, and pretty good.pretty much nothing is explained in the end, leaving you guessing, but some discussions gave interesting ideas that probably lead to what the authors meant (no spoilers, sorry - read for yourself).nothing much to argue about quality of the movie - it is good! well shot, with good thrilling moments; nothing much to note for the actors in my view, but i guess this means they did their job well too :)
