Reviews
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
daugherty67 Saw this last night on Netflix. Great movie. Characters are fully developed and believable. Dialogue is powerful. Story is heartbreaking. If you are tired of the "Hollywood" produced crap that always ends in a happy ending and is mainly superficial, then this is a movie for you. Real life seldom ends happy, and sometimes you need to find your own happiness. Must see.
C R Krishnan I found this movie very moving. All the actors including the young girl were very unforgettable. However, I was confused with all the flashbacks, too many of it. The most confusing flashback was about the ambulance etc., which was introduced way too early into the film. I simply got lost there. However, will look forward to watching more Belgian films.Krishna
Ebrahim Karam The movie is beautifully done. Every emotion comes naturally nothing is forced. You appreciate the subtle script lines. There is enough conflict, passion, and love for you to move with the characters through the plot. *******************************************Spoiler****************** **********The ending is not your conventional love story ending. However, it is original and authentic. I will not guarantee that you will love it but you will be moved one way or another. The tragedy builds up the character and eventually the plot. Action is character. *******************************************Spoiler****************** ********** It will make you appreciate BlueGrass Music. It is quite underrated for how powerful the movie is. It's a movie that progresses without any of the characters saying "I love you". It's spoken in action and stares. Action is character. For every fallout they have in words there actions are always 'speaking their true intentions'The title is The broken Circle Breakdown which sounds redundant but it describes the movies chronological order. We cycle through the events. We go back then forward then back. The cycle is broken until it breaks down. If you let it be, this movie could redefine your enjoyment for the subtle things
Red_Identity Definitely reminds me a lot of Blue Valentine, even if not as refined. By that, I mean that it feels like the story is thinner and that it seems to have less of a goal. The circumstances are even more tragic though, involving the two leads' daughter. This isn't an easy film to watch at times, but the music and the performances really elevate the thin screenplay. Some of the music here is glorious, and the two leads give some pretty strong work that is bound to bring tears to many people's eyes. The cinematography is also really beautiful, highlighting the right colors as to give emphasis to the emotions the leads are feeling. Overall, definitely recommended.
