| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxDon't be put off: Hernandez's exquisite romance works on an emotional, as well as intellectual, level. |
| L.A. WeeklyTim GriersonAll in all, a striking, memorable disappointment -- not unlike so many first loves. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckAn endurance test notable mainly for its evocative cinematography and the well-toned bodies of its young male leads. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasBroken Sky is that increasing rarity, a film that is fully realized visually. Keeping dialogue at a minimum, Hernández and inspired cinematographer Alejandro Cantú create a constant interplay between light and shadow, movement and stillness, dramatic spaces of architectural grandeur and intimate enclosures to evoke the ever-shifting emotions of an all-consuming first love. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohThis thing crawls over a torturous 140-minute running length, with teenage love given a dire gravitas which verges on the absurd. |
| New York TimesNathan LeeMr. Hernández doesn't always grab what he's reaching for -- his talent soars untethered by discipline -- but the thrust of his effort lights up the sky. |
| New York PostV.A. Musetto[Hernandez] is obviously a man more concerned with art than commerce, but good intentions don't always make for good filmmaking. |
| Murphy's Movie ReviewsTed MurphyI have jokingly described BROKEN SKY (EL CIELO DIVIDIDO) as the gay, Mexican version of THE BREAK-UP, although to be fair, this film at least has more sympathetic characters. ... But, at 140 minutes, [it] goes on far too long. |
| VarietyDeborah YoungThough the bold treatment of homoerotic love in Mexican helmer Julian Hernandez's feature bow Broken Sky is sure to grab attention, it doesn't take long before the picture's torturously slow pace turns an earnest effort into a tedious aesthetic exercise. |
| JWRS. James WeggAfter such a triumph with A Thousand Clouds of Peace (Mil Nubes de Paz Cercan el Cielo) the second installment in Julián Hernández's apparent "Cielo" series is a sluggish disappointment. |
