Broke

I agree with another reviewer that this movie is stunningly beautiful and that there is not a wasted scene. There is also not a wasted word. The story, screenplay, acting, directing, editing, camera work, and music were breathtaking. This movie's flashbacks are used successfully and do not break the narrative drive. I laughed and cried as I sat on the edge of my chair. I am so happy I bought this movie, so I can rewatch it. Many kudos to all involved in the making of this fine film. It is one of the tightest and best movies I have ever seen. I will be keeping an eye out for more of Carlyle Eubank's deep and sensitive work. This movie is like a poem. Thank you.

PS. Ignore the thumbs down that the comments are being given. These seem to be coming from outside agitators with a hidden agenda. They have too much time on their hands.

'Broke' is a visually beautiful movie, featuring a masterclass in acting, by EVERY actor/actress within it!

There is not a wasted scene, throughout, that does not capture the raw emotions of everyone's lives.

The film flips between the main character, named True, who is in survival mode from the opening scene, and his 'before' life, as a bronco rider!

Those who have the patience to know the viewer will find out how the two connect, will not be disappointed!

Throughout this brilliant movie is a wonderful soundtrack!

If I could rate this movie HIGHER than '10', I certainly would!

Go see!!!

This movie was so beautifully done and so true to that western lifestyle- down to the terms that they used and the clothing they wore. Unlike the usual gun-sling drama that comes with modern westerns, this story brought to light the relationship between a person and their passion, a father and son and a man struggling with his own demons. The opening scene was killer and the suspense and mystery really gave it an edge.

The soundtrack was top-notch- downloaded Charlie Crockett songs afterwards. It is so reminiscent of early Hank Williams music.

Wyatt Russell did an excellent job, as did Dennis Quaid!!! 10/10 would recommend!

This film is a grounded and realistic portrayal of a Rodeo athlete but still maintains that artistic and cinematic magic. This film proves to be both emotionally provoking as well as inspiring!

Furthermore this film honors the American culture of rodeo and ranching as well as free thinking and art. It brings back an older generation film feeling of telling a deep and intimate story that will resonate with anyone but it is set against a modern backdrop. It also indicates to the audience how alive and well western culture still is.

I truly believe this is an engaging must see film for anyone and everyone!

The story is simple, knowing its limits and never exceeding them. The actors are all great, the music is great, the scenery excellent. For a modern western, it fares much better than anything else I have watched.

Also, Russell proves himself to have calibre as an actor, knowing how to use his physique and looks, and even his eyes work perfectly to express emotion and thinking without having to overdo it. The female lead was great, as was the brother. The big stars of the film, Quaid and McDonald were fine, but nothing too much. What stands out though, even more than the beautiful scenery, is the script. A good, honest story. Will be looking for this director's next film.
