With a strong direction, cast, cinematographer and (most) of the script, THE BROKEN is thus far the best film I've seen at Sundance.....If the finale wasn't so (unfortunately) forced this could have been the film to beat....Negating that the end of the movie is terrible, THE BROKEN is truly phenomenal in every aspect.....Sean Ellis is an extremely talented director who I believe will be a big name one of these days.....some of the most magnificent moments are the way he lights up the characters eyes in dark ...
