Pretty Broken

No real actors but they still did a great job. the story line was unique and heart warming. If you went into this expecting a comedy like some reviewers obviously did then you will be dissapointed. If you go into this with an open mind and don't give up after 30 minutes you will be left with a pretty impressive movie with amazing cinematography and a heartwarming finish that will leave you wanting to call mom and dad.

For once I don't agree with my wife about the rating of a movie. Most of the time we have the same taste and ratings but in this case I liked it more than my wife. Pretty Broken is a low budget movie, so no spectacular scenes or big names in this movie, but instead actors that did a pretty good job to make Pretty Bones worth watching once. Not that I will watch it again in the future but I certainly didn't regret watching it this time. Some reviewers scored it a ten, and that's ridiculous, as are the reviewers that scored it the lowest possible score. Pretty Broken is easy to watch, nothing difficult to understand, a story that is entertaining, maybe not with alot of action but that's not what you expect when watching a movie in this genre.

Who is laying reviewers to leave anything more than 1 out of 10. Slow, poor cinematography, zero humour and on and on. Just terrible.

This film is quite simply an amazing example of what brilliant writing, directing and acting can achieve on a film that relies on a powerful, human interest story. Lindsay Lou and her family are at once endearing and compelling as individuals struggling to make sense out of tragedy. As a psychologist, I see the fallout from loss regularly in my practice and the way in which loved ones cope with it. Instead of accepting and grieving, we see Lindsay embark on a mission to make sure that she has done everything possible to find out her fathers' true fate. It's a mission that pulls you in deftly and you can't help but root for her. If you look deep into her character, what's revealed is a young woman who consciously acts on her beliefs but their is a subtle realization that she may be just coping with denial. It's okay though as Lindsay has to know that she has done what she could. I personally love films that rely on the strength of the story and don't really care for bells and whistles. 'Pretty Broken' is a warm , heartfelt film that very carefully navigates the issue of loss in a family that sooner or later every family deals with. Bravo!

Simply one if the most horrific movies I've seen. So bad. Sooooo bad.
