Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

sergicaballeroalsina This is a very expressive but believable sexy drama that attracts you from the beginning. The language in which feelings and emotions are exposed is rich as well as effective: the movie gets to you in many different ways. Its musicality makes it a very vivid film. The plot is about a passionate relationship in an environment in which the cult of beauty and pleasure is professed. The charm of the main characters, the lifestyle of a couple who have it all worked out, who are happy, seduce you from the first minute. But as the movie goes on the vertigo seizes you as much as them; the feeling that things can break down at any moment, that they can only get worse, that glory is not forever, increasingly cause a lump in your throat. The movie follows an almost-circular narrative structure, placing the sacrifice in the middle of the footage. After enjoying so much passion and beauty the tragedy hurts more. That's when catharsis happens: A sea of tears with bluegrass playing in the back. Thank you for such a beautiful and pleasant drama.

Ebrahim Karam The movie is beautifully done. Every emotion comes naturally nothing is forced. You appreciate the subtle script lines. There is enough conflict, passion, and love for you to move with the characters through the plot. *******************************************Spoiler****************** **********The ending is not your conventional love story ending. However, it is original and authentic. I will not guarantee that you will love it but you will be moved one way or another. The tragedy builds up the character and eventually the plot. Action is character. *******************************************Spoiler****************** ********** It will make you appreciate BlueGrass Music. It is quite underrated for how powerful the movie is. It's a movie that progresses without any of the characters saying "I love you". It's spoken in action and stares. Action is character. For every fallout they have in words there actions are always 'speaking their true intentions'The title is The broken Circle Breakdown which sounds redundant but it describes the movies chronological order. We cycle through the events. We go back then forward then back. The cycle is broken until it breaks down. If you let it be, this movie could redefine your enjoyment for the subtle things

rafael13234 This Belgian production, nominated for Best Foreign Language Film Oscar, is one of those great human dramas, the kind that believes in scenes tragedies (separation, accident, illness) and greater representation of human depth. The story revolves around Elise (Veerle Baetens) and Didier (Johan Heldenbergh), he is a romantic musician and she is a owner of a tattoo parlor. Despite the differences, the relationship works well and they have a daughter, Maybelle (Nell Cattrysse). At six the girl is seriously ill and the family is destabilized. Both Bohemians do what they can, but the child's situation is very serious.

roland-scialom Didier and Elise love each other very much. Didier's mind is mainly committed with rationalism while Elise's is more committed with spiritualism. Their life is quite happy since they met and have a baby a little after. Yet, The fatal illness of their daughter is a dramatic ordeal for their relationship, in a first moment, and for their existence, in a second moment. Didier insists keeping his rationalist attitude against Elise spiritualist attitude. Their relationship and marriage are torn apart, Elise commits suicide and die. Yet, Didier and Elise never stopped to love each other. The last scene, when the apparatus that keeps Elise in vegetative life are turned off and when Didier and his band play a music, seems to say that Didier started to put some spiritualism in his existence; sadly it's too late. I see two messages in this story. The first one is: certain ordeals can be overcome only with spirituality. The second, which derive from the first is: a marriage is much better if the couple share spirituality. The film is moving, the actors are convincing, and the sound track is nice.
