Unlike "The Liability" which was a straight to dvd/on demand release, this a cinema release and I was drawn to it by an interview on Radio 2 with the charismatic Roth one afternoon.
11 year old 'Skunk' witness's her neighbour get a vicious beating one day during the start of the school holidays, this starts the cycle of a bleak chain of events.
"Broken" is a slow burner that keeps you guessing as to what will happen to the various residence of the small cul-de-sac.Often charming and sweet about the wonders of childhood, sometimes brutal, starting 'Comp' and the challenges this entails and the thrill of your first love.
Great performances from Roth, Cillian Murphy and especially 11 year old debutant Eloise Laurence, hard hitting but often poignant "Broken" is pretty much faultless and an early contender for one of the movies of 2013.
