Movie Reviews

Jam! Movies - 8/10 by Jim SlotekDespite its limitations of form, This Movie Is Broken does a good job of communicating the Broken Social Scene experience. If there's anything to the adage of "Leave 'em wanting more," then it's the movie's strongest suit.
Globe and Mail - 8/10 by Liam LaceyIt's a Broken Social Scene movie, with a sweet tease of a story that pretends for a moment that Toronto and Paris could share an affair.
Dork Shelf - 6/10 by Shelagh Rowan-LeggAs a concert film, This Movie is Broken is a great tribute that should find its way into the ranks of other great concert films. As a love story, the film only partially succeeds.
User Review - 8/10 by Peter VThis movie made me feel broken, like I had suddenly woken up old and alone. It manages, somehow, to tell that "scuffling twenty-somethings" story in a way that feels fresh and vivid and honest, and merges this plot with a concert film. It made me long to be young and sexy and free and to lose myself in a rock show, specifically a rock show at Harbourfront Centre in Toronto, where I haven't seen a show in at least five years, somehow. And while I'm trashing my own Toronto cred, I'll say that my general indifference to Broken Social Scene (what? But they're FROM Toronto...) didn't stand in the way of enjoying the movie. I think where it succeeded with the often-precious "entry to adulthood" story was that it took a less-is-more approach, punctuating the telling moments - a sort of short-hand plot - with cuts back to the concert. And hilariously: only Canadians will understand this, but the parts in which Bruno (Greg Calderone) is using his smartphone are totally riffs on the Rogers (telecom company) commercials he's been in for the last few years. Literally, Bruce McDonald has imbued those annoying Rogers kids with souls. I did struggle with the ending - it didn't strike me as the likeliest outcome - but what's been assembled here (possibly from two half-finished, abandoned, or "broken" works...?) is another gloriously messy film from one of Canada's best directors. How messy? McDonald shot it during Toronto's ridiculous public workers' strike of 2009, when parks became dumpsites out of necessity during one of the hottest recent summers. It felt important that this was committed to film; in fact, it felt important that a lot of what Toronto is was committed to film, here. A real surprise - I wasn't ready to like this movie, but it hit me right in the gut. It could be my hometown bias or the fact that I just turned 30 talking, though...

User Review - 8/10 by Nikolai EThis is a concert film, the best one I've ever seen in my admittedly limited experience of the subject, but while you're watching it it's almost impossible to tell whether the film is more interested in filming a live performance or telling a simple, genuine, naturalistic love story. The film is all about a mood, the feeling of a very specific time and place, the feeling of being in an important and meaningful moment and fighting to hold onto it and make the most of it, but the more you fight, the more it slips away. More than anything, it feels like Toronto. Our local film industry does not often distinguish itself, but the fact that we have storytellers as proficient and skillful as Bruce McDonald and Don McKellar is something for which I am eternally grateful.
User Review - 8/10 by Marco PFor someone who's seen Broken Social Scene perform live twice, it is certainly a treat to see the entire live core-- complete with guests Emily Haines, Amy Millan, and Leslie Feist-- even if it's onscreen. While the Harbourfront gig wasn't necessarily the best one they had, it was the first time in a long time that everyone in the band (including Feist, Amy Millan, and Emily Haines) participated. That to me was the first draw of this film, good tunes from a truly great band. The second was that this movie essentially is a love letter to Toronto. Critics have been middling about the interspersing of the gig at Toronto with the story of two lost-and-found lovers who attend the same gig. This I think was the director's device of putting the city of Toronto on the spotlight along with Canada's famed export. Essentially, Toronto and BSS are symbiotic of each other. Torquil Campbell, lead singer of the band Stars, when asked to comment on BSS' debut album Feel Good Lost, said this: "this is the first time anyone's made Toronto sound beautiful." That's how I feel about seeing the movie, it made Toronto look beautiful.
User Review - 8/10 by Brian VNostalgia. Reliving memories of one of my fav nights of summer 09, set to a score by one of my fav bands, preserved in all its glory in celluloid. Also fun pointing out hipster Toronto landmarks (Drake, Trinity-Bellwoods Park, etc). Could have benefited from less "out-of-focus-super-close-up" shots though. Bonus points for the Guelph shoutout in the movie!
User Review - 8/10 by Ben TDirector Bruce McDonald did it again! Surprisingly, it's one of the better Canadian films around lately. Stylistically, it's very French cinema Verite - natural and observational. It's a fly on the wall of two twenty-something characters that wondered Toronto aimlessly one hot summer night. It made you want to root for the slacker race track dude - Bruno (Greg Calderone). The Broken Social Scene concert sequences were energetic, fresh, hopping and socking. The emotions of the girl and the guy were well reflected to the beats of the BSS songs. This Movie Is Broken was hardly a wreck. Rather, it was a sweet mid-summer musical interlude!
User Review - 8/10 by Elizabeth MThe concert footage is fantastic, the storyline isn't great but it doesn't detract from the film overall
