Critic Reviews

Peter Debruge

Broken English takes 30 minutes to do what most romantic comedies manage with a simple montage. That's a good thing, by the way. Read full review

Carrie Rickey

As a director, Cassavetes is a keen observer of character and social interaction but not yet much of a visual stylist (which might also describe the improvisational dramas made by her actor/director father, John). Read full review

Carina Chocano

A wry, charming romance about a New York woman who has given up hope of finding love. Read full review

Ty Burr

A conventional New York-lonely hearts story made watchable by one element and one element only: Parker Posey. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

Posey is a delight throughout, and Zoe Cassavetes is clearly a filmmaker to watch. Read full review

Jamie Tipps

What began as an interesting character study ends in convention, offering only the most clichéd platitudes in summation. You can't find true love until you love yourself? Hasn't Dr. Phil been telling us that for years? Read full review

Shawn Levy

Almost nothing that's said or done here is convincing. And the energy is set at near-coma level. Read full review

The ultimate chick flick that guys will love too. Parker Posey is adorable despite all her neuroses.
