Leave your thoughts about Breaking the Girls.
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonIt woefully lacks subtlety and suspense, and its characters aren't the least bit sympathetic. |
| AV ClubMike D'AngeloLiteralizing "Strangers On A Train’s" gay subtext might theoretically have been interesting, but Breaking The Girls’ LGBT angle, like everything else about it, seems pandering rather than heartfelt — a “contemporary rethinking” of material that was once sturdy enough not to require a pseudo-sleazy hard sell. |
| RogerEbert.comSteven BooneThe half-ingenious, half-ludicrous third act makes observations about class and legacy worth thinking about. It calls to mind Jeff Nichols's "Shotgun Stories." |
| Village VoiceErnest HardyA decently acted, often drolly funny, tautly directed thriller that proves to be a Russian doll of motivations, coincidences, and plot-twists; it would have been more satisfying if it weren't so unnecessarily convoluted. |
| Los Angeles TimesMark OlsenBreaking the Girls isn't exactly a throwaway, but more an extended act of teasing foreplay, a movie that is fine for what it is but also never really shifts into something more. |
| New York TimesNicole HerringtonAn erotic thriller with too many twists and back stories to count. |
| Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreThis "Shadow of a Doubt" riff is a bisexual Hitchcock teaser. |
| Slant MagazineAndrew SchenkerAt the center of the film, festering like an open sore, is the stereotype of the psycho lesbian bitch. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeBabbit's flat direction has none of the lurid appeal or humor that (along with a much more appealing cast) sustained John McNaughton's notionally similar "Wild Things" through crazy plot contrivances. |
| New York Daily NewsJoe Neumaier[Zima] saves some of this plodding thriller - a police investigation alone seems to go on forever - but not enough to make the steaminess pay off. |
