    Broken movie - Broken poet

    I am really not sure which is worse - The writing, or the acting! It is really not much of a film... and it certainly isn't very engaging! I didn't really like it! I thought it was pretty boring actually
    1choffman2008

    Almost unwatchable!

    Terrible, stilted dialogue, still acting and trite references throughout!

    A rarely told story of rock stardom

    As much as I enjoyed the recent film a star is born what I enjoyed about this film is that it told the story of another side of rockstardom - a once-famous musician Who rejects fame, riches and celebrity. Great evocative shots of Paris!

    Excelent movie.

    See this movie. It is excellent. Broken Poet has it all. It will keep you engrossed and seem like you are a part of this awesome story.

    Excellent Movie

    Superb plot, fine acting, beautiful scenery and production. You are completely engaged from start to finish. You somehow want the story to continue, not end. Foremost, Elliott Murphy and his fine music propel the movie. Don't miss it!
