- Critics' reviews
-
-
"'Broken English' takes 30 minutes to do what most romantic comedies manage with a simple montage. That's a good thing, by the way."
-
"The movie needs more incident and complication; it's modest to a fault."
-
"A wry, charming romance about a New York woman who has given up hope of finding love"
-
"A well-acted, smartly directed film that’s depressing because it could have amounted to so much more."
-
"Demonstrating that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, the screenwriter-director has delivered a well-observed film boasting highly realistic performances and dialogue"
-
"Given the gift of Posey at the peak of her powers, Cassavetes squanders her star in low-key, go-nowhere conversations, shot without flair and drained of any improvisatory energy."
