Trash movies used to be about teenagers wanting to have sex with girls who are actually alien or they got lost in the woods where, coincidentally, there's a maniac with a chainsaw wanting to kill everyone. However, for such trashy movies you are prepared from the title so you don't have any expectations. This movie pretends to be a serious one as it deals with sensitive topics but it's trashy since the opening scene. A mum is obsessed with teaching her toddler the school curriculum years before she's supposed to learn it. Not only the mum doesn't give her toddler enough space to play freely but she places her on a tall table and walks off. Next, she hands the child a ceramic cup filled with liquid, while the child is still dangerously sitting on the table and the toddler's hands are too small to grab the cup. Even the toddler herself is smart enough not to take the cup but the mother insists... At this point I stopped watching altogether. Trash disguise as a drama is really too much for me to handle.

This was probably the shortest film I've ever seen, but it had a powerful message, that having problems with learning doesn't make someone less intelligent than the next person. I don't have dyslexia, so I can't speak on it personally, but I'm sure it's a disorder that's hard to live with, due to the embarrassment and shame that it causes for the person who has it, particularly when they go to school. Kids who have dyslexia can be successful when it comes to academics - they just need modifications to their learning, such as tutoring and small class sizes.

Not Broken is a story about Winter Knight (Ann Marie Ryan), a dyslexic girl who is exceptionally talented when it comes to art. The movie is a progression of her life from the time she's a toddler to the age of 18. When she's little and her mom (Natalie King) is trying to teach her about numbers and letters, she's not interested and would rather draw instead. When she's in elementary school her mom takes her to a neuropsychologist, and that's when she's diagnosed with dyslexia. Winter struggles throughout high school, and that's when she makes a suggestion to her mom that perhaps she would have less of a hard time if she obtained a job. But she experiences difficulties with that as well. One day while working in a coffeeshop, after taking a customer's order and asking for her name, she struggles to write her name on the cup, so she draws her face instead, which looks beautiful. She starts doing this for all of the customers. After going through her challenges with reading, she realizes there's nothing wrong with being different, as differences are what make all of us special. It's a nice family-oriented movie. I definitely recommend for parents who have a dyslexic child.

This film, which is excellently directed, cast, and performed, will leave you inspired and encouraged. Winter, the main character, grows up before our eyes. We see and feel her struggles with her disability. We feel her hopelessness. And then we celebrate with her when she discovers that she is not only "not broken", but that she is actually quite talented. More importantly, she finds great joy in helping other "disabled" people find this truth as well.

The music was moving and was obviously carefully selected. It fits each scene beautifully.

It is almost impossible to believe that the director is a young teenager. Her talent and insight into human nature will inspire everyone who is lucky enough to view this wonderful film!!

'Not Broken' is a beautiful illustration of how you should pursue your God-given talents and passions and accept who God made you to be. It is a really inspirational film.

The characters are beautifully played and well-developed. The protagonist is very inspiring as she challenges the antagonist her mother, to accept her for who she is, and focus on what is not broken in her.

Sadly, her mother is driven by fear and tries to bury the talent, passion and dreams that her daughter possesses. This is very relatable as parents sometimes try to live vicariously through their children and not taking the time to listen to the heart of their children, thereby causing them much grief and pain.

In a world where there is much emphasis on academics, it is sometimes forgotten that talent and hobbies are important in a person's development. The message of this film is to persevere and never let go a God-given dream. It also shows that opportunity meets those who are prepared and we should pursue our God-given passions; and in doing so prosperity will find us.

This movie clearly embraces diversity in people. I loved the fact that people who society might call disabled were portrayed positively and are celebrated for the ways in which they inspire us and cause us to accept who God has made us to be.

This is a beautiful family movie. It offers great opportunity to teach children about self-acceptance and self-love. This is a message that the world needs right now.

'Not Broken' is an uplifting and inspiring movie about a young girl with dyslexia. My family and I watched this movie together and found it to be a wholesome and high quality film. The cinematography was beautiful and the acting, top-notch. The story was beautifully told and brought you to tears. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a well made film for a movie night! In my opinion, it's as well made, or better, than any Hollywood movie! The filming is absolutely beautiful and I would have had absolutely no idea it was made by a young woman, if I didn't know it. It's definitely a professional level production. Overall, 'Not Broken' is a fantastic movie, for the old and young alike, a film I wish the whole world could see!
