Broken Sky Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Franco-LA This movie is simply far too long, far too repetitive, with the male nudity and sexuality being (as this is said as a gay with my own collection of adult titles) far too gratuitous and unnecessary. Much of the first third of the movie could have been cut down to ten minutes and been equally as effective without trying the patience (and stamina) of an audience.I saw this movie on an early Saturday afternoon, with a film festival audience; the type of crowd that tends to be more adventuresome, interested in more experimental or atypical films, such as one without much dialog, shorts, foreign films. The near sell out crowd in an approximate 275 seat theater started to dribble out within the first half of the movie and while the great majority did stay for the "pay off" (which never actually arrived), I have never, in about 14 years of attending any number of film festivals, experimental, gay and otherwise, seen such a large number of people walk away from a film. This movie could easily have been cut down by more than half and been as effective as it was. It also could have gone in different directions, still with a shorter running time, and been far more effective.As it currently exists, this is not something that one can readily recommend or one I would have any desire to watch again.
r I usually find most gay cinema quite horrible - the writing, the casting, the acting, the directing. This film however was truly remarkable. Yes it is long and moves slowly, but it captivated me the entire way through. I was intrigued. I felt like I was watching an old movie from the silent ere. And I was very thankful that it was not some predictable-tack-on-a-resolution ending. I have a difficult time calling this a gay film. Yes, I know it's all about love and relationships between guys. But the story just as easily could have been about a man and a woman I think. It's really just a story about life, love and tragedy. How does one continue living with a broken heart? Very little dialog, but the film speaks volumes.
temperpolk The first time I watched this movie, I was thinking .......what????? All that camera spinning had my head spinning, but even then something out of the ordinary seemed to scream right out of the screen.Then, out of sheer boredom (because every movie I own I've watched a thousand times already) I watched again. It suddenly was like a lightbulb went on in my head. Since then I've watched it two more times and every time I see something new that I haven't seen before. This is a brilliant piece of art. All my complaints from my first viewing have become positives. The lack of dialogue works. The slow movements works. The spinning works. And the final coup is the masterful use of the credits to give the final ending of the movie. The music and songs selected blend in seamless and the acting is superb. As with everything in life, nothing is perfect and use of lighting could have been better and there was too much "choppiness" to the feeling of the overall story. But, still, in a matter of weeks, this has become one of my top 5 fav movies of all time. I'm glad now I was bored enough to watch it a second time. I have a feeling I'll watch again a hundred times. Amazing!!
sweets4 My biggest problem with this film was the way the in which the subtitles were used. In most films they're awful, mostly shown at the bottom of the screen where there is invariable someone's head blocking your view of the text. In this case, the narrative is delivered in Spanish, which is understandable, but the subtitles were displayed on the screen in a very faint yellow font, usually on a white background, making them nearly impossible to read in the minimal amount of time they were sorta visible . Other than that I really liked the film, so I'm hoping perhaps someone associated with the production reads this and maybe incorporates some sensibilities into the placement of text and font colors/and type faces used in future productions, with the intention of promoting communication - which is what movies should be about anyway. It only played for 8 days in West Hollywood, so I didn't have an opportunity to see it more than once. Perhaps it will be released on DVD, which will give me a second opportunity to see it.
