Broken (2102) Film On Tv

[Maydup]

Just watched Broken with Tim Roth and the amazing Eloise Laurence. Beautifully directed. Did anyone else see it?

Haven't seen it but I'll watch it and give you my review.

I grew up in a time when one went to the cinema to watch a particular film, and laboriously sat through the endless line of credits, until finally those welcoming two credits appeared on the screen 'Produced and Directed by ..........' and then one knew the film was about to start at last.

Any post reporting that took place was on how good or how bad the film was based on the action or the story line.

But these days much is said regarding the director, as in this case "Beautifully directed", can anyone please explain to me how does one recognise this?

Yes I watched it, I enjoyed it but it was quite gory! Glad I dont live in that cul de sac ... Ha ha

Apparently Eloise is the daughter of Larry Lamb.

In the case of this film, AOG, the story is good and the acting is brilliant, but it was the director who gave it the edge. For example a scene was played out and the story developed, and then a little bit later we were taken back the same scene to see what had happened beforehand. This would have been the directors decision. It was very clever and expertly done.

The director also gave us a good pace; no lingering for too long on any one scene or character, but not too much jumping about either. it was really good.

A rather "unusual" film, but I really enjoyed it, as wasn't Tim Roth cast as a sympathetic person for a change. Eloise was exceptional.
