Elise and Didier fall in love at first sight. She has her own tattoo shop and he plays the banjo in a bluegrass band. They bond over their shared enthusiasm for American music and culture, and dive headfirst into a sweeping romance that plays out on and off stage - but when an unexpected tragedy hits their new family, everything they know and love is tested. An intensely moving portrait of a relationship from beginning to end, propelled by a soundtrack of foot-stomping bluegrass, The Broken Circle Breakdown is a romantic melodrama of the highest order.
Leave your thoughts about The Broken Circle Breakdown.
| Film Journal InternationalDaniel EaganLike the characters it portrays, The Broken Circle Breakdown is a heartfelt but sloppy mess. Moving at times, but a mess nonetheless. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldThis is terribly sad stuff, and "The Broken Circle Breakdown" unapologetically explores melodrama; these characters experience big, dramatic emotions, and the movie rides on those waves. |
| Chicago ReaderBen SachsThe movie swings like a pendulum between elation and despair, with little time devoted to anything in between. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth Turan"Breakdown" gets the music right and has the benefit of strong acting, but its unapologetically melodramatic plot has a tendency to throw everything at you but the kitchen sink. |
| Arts FuseGerald PearyThe first part is directed in the most conventional way. In the better second half, the Belgian leads dig deeply into their characters, sing bluegrass wonderfully." |
| Three Movie BuffsScott NashRaises itself far above its Lifetime Movie of the Week premise. |
| AV ClubKyle RyanOnce viewers adjust to the cognitive dissonance between intense Flemish dialogue and English performances of country and bluegrass songs,The Broken Circle Breakdown is a film that will likely stick with them long after the credits roll. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordThis amazing Foreign Language submission from Belgium plays like "Once" with more passion, tragedy and invention. |
| LimelightLynden BarberClear your head of any awkward preconceptions and prepare for a wild emotional ride that takes you from the heights of amorous passion to the depths of despair, its terrific music serving as both hum-dinging entertainment and ultimately as healing force. |
| Sydney Morning HeraldPaul ByrnesWhere the Coen brothers gently mocked th[e] music in O Brother Where art Thou?, this plucky little Belgian film reconnects that music to the sorrows that produced it. Just brilliant. |
