Skunk, 11 v, on diabeetikko – ja aika siisti tyyppi. Kesäloma on vasta alkanut ja tytön päivät ovat täynnään kepeitä toiveita, kunnes vastapäätä asuva epämiellyttävä herra Oswald hakkaa naapuritalon Rickin, kiltin mutta henkisesti epätasapainossa olevan pojan. Skunkin viattomuus alkaa kariutua vauhdilla, jota hän ei itsekään voi kontrolloida. Hänen kotinsa, naapurustonsa ja koulunsa muuttuvat kaikki petollisiksi ympäristöiksi ja lapsuuden onnelliset varmat asiat taipuvat pelontäyteiseksi, monimutkaisten epäilysten täyttämäksi särkyneeksi tulevaisuudeksi. Skunk etsii lohtua viimeisestä paikasta, josta uskoo sitä löytävänsä, kun salattu ystävyyssuhde sydämellisen, mutta rikkonaisen Rickin kanssa ajautuu katastrofiin, kunnes yht'äkkiä tyttö saa valinnan mahdollisuuden takaisin itselleen. Hän voi valita jäävänsä paikkaan, jota hänelle ei oltu koskaan luvattu, tai jättää sen lopullisesti. Elää tai kuolla. (Atlantic Film Fin.)

A gritty drama that doesn't seem like one at first glance. It has an interesting use of flashbacks, which can certainly be considered innovative. The peaks of this film come completely unexpectedly, which makes their impact on you even greater. Here once again you will feel how disgusting life can be and that it doesn't cuddle with anyone. There's nothing fair here, there's nothing we can rely on. We just live and it works out. Somehow. Disturbing, yet brilliant.

One of the best new dramas I’ve seen this year. I loved how beams of light, hope and good mood flash from time to time through the concentrated clouds of depression.

I won't speculate on how much Broken deviates from the ideas of a social drama and how many of its elements exceed it. Rather, I will say that this drama from the urban periphery emotionally struck me to the core. I believed in the conflicts, motivations, and crises of these characters, and the actors convinced me of their high qualities without exception. Eloise Laurence is a talent that would be a great loss not to utilize, and I hope to see her in a few more films even as an adult. I would disagree with labeling the film as a melodrama, as these are not emotions that are cheaply squeezed out. Rufus Norris convinced me, with his imaginative direction, clever use of flashbacks, and dosing of information, that it is worth following his future work. Overall impression: 90%.

Except for a few details I was pleasantly surprised and very satisfied with the film. Not even the calmer scenes were boring, the acting performances were convincing, and the characters were written in such a believable way that I wished some of them a painful accident (right, Sunrise?).
