9/10
Real and Insightful
23 July 2009
Three days, four women, life altering decisions which could affect rest of their lives.

Broken Windows is a drama featuring four women Sara (Larisa Oleynik), Katie (Sarah Thompson as), Amy (Jennifer Hall) and Beth (Sara Jane Nash), who are at different places of life but equally dissatisfied. Director Tony Hickman explores about waking up in the middle of life and craving change. The four stories come together at the birthday party of a deceased grandfather, where all the drama unfolds and reveals the story of their discontent.

The movie is "real"; it is about the nuances of life; about grief, discontent, hurt and the burden that people carry in themselves and the way it shapes them.

The film has done a wondrous job being an independent film. The whole crew from writer, director to actors, everyone has done an amazing job; the ordinarily of the film sets it par with real life, topped with an equally strong performances by characters. The background music, the muffling acoustic is a beautiful choice. I loved the In Light of Recent News by The Outline.

Corri English, Devon Gummersall, Jonathan Murphy, Jason Winston Georg, Michael Gross, Kyle Brandt complete the movie with equally impressive performance.

The movie is adorable. It is not a typical box office flick; it has the element of realness that may make it look ordinary and tedious. Hence I won't recommend it to everybody but those who like insightful and rather straightforward, "real", element in a drama.
