Leave your thoughts about Language of a Broken Heart.
| Shockya.comBrent SimonExactly the movie that one expects it to be -- a frustrating quality for some, but smooth medicine for those who trust and like writer-actors' puppy dog tales that unfold loosely in the vein of Ed Burns. |
| New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierNothing terribly special here, but perfectly played and a spiritual cousin to such early ’90s indies as “Naked in New York” and “Ed’s Next Move.” |
| Austin American-StatesmanLindsey ChernerDon't expect to fall head-over-heels for this tale of a nice guy finishing last, but you'll appreciate its quirks, insight and humor. |
| New York TimesNeil GenzlingerAlthough Language of a Broken Heart, a romantic comedy written by and starring Juddy Talt, eventually drowns in clichés and predictability, it has a few decent moments of humor and some appealing performances that make it marginally better than most vanity projects. |
| Sly FoxKam WilliamsAn entertaining enough Prodigal Son drama about a just-dumped love guru who finds the girl of his dreams when he returns home from the big city to lick his wounds. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohThe rom-com genre keeps scraping bottom, and this particular annoyance is about as low as you can get. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferLacks complexity, realism, wit and sophistication. Julie White radiates panache, though. |
| Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.comCary DarlingTake (500) Days of Summer and Garden State, strip away their charms and you end up with Language of a Broken Heart, a handsomely shot but tired pile-up of indie rom-com clichés. |
| Village VoiceErnest HardyFull of familiar tropes, exhausted rhythms, self-conscious references to genre forebears...Language of a Broken Heart, directed by Rocky Powell from a screenplay by Juddy Talt, is pure product. |
| User ReviewDean WI liked this a LOT. I can totally relate to the hopeless romantic whose relationships never match those in his dreams, someone who always gives too much, who ends up being taken advantage of and left behind. Nice that he finally recognized real love when he found it and went after it. |
