Il rodeo dell'anima

'Broke' is a visually beautiful movie, featuring a masterclass in acting, by EVERY actor/actress within it!

There is not a wasted scene, throughout, that does not capture the raw emotions of everyone's lives.

The film flips between the main character, named True, who is in survival mode from the opening scene, and his 'before' life, as a bronco rider!

Those who have the patience to know the viewer will find out how the two connect, will not be disappointed!

Throughout this brilliant movie is a wonderful soundtrack!

If I could rate this movie HIGHER than '10', I certainly would!

Go see!!!

This film is a grounded and realistic portrayal of a Rodeo athlete but still maintains that artistic and cinematic magic. This film proves to be both emotionally provoking as well as inspiring!

Furthermore this film honors the American culture of rodeo and ranching as well as free thinking and art. It brings back an older generation film feeling of telling a deep and intimate story that will resonate with anyone but it is set against a modern backdrop. It also indicates to the audience how alive and well western culture still is.

I truly believe this is an engaging must see film for anyone and everyone!

Wow, Broke got under my skin. Wyatt Russell's True, a rodeo rider crumbling under pain and pills, felt like he was speaking my language. His spiral into illegal meds to dull the ache, hit hard - too many of us know someone caught in that trap, or maybe we've been there, numbing life's hurts. It's a story that screams America today, where so many battle pain, physical or not, and reach for quick fixes. The way the film flips through True's life, from rodeo highs to hospital lows, felt like my own moments of looking back, wondering where I went wrong. The Montana snow and gritty country songs wrapped it all in a vibe that's pure heartland, raw and real. Dennis Quaid's turn as True's dad, full of tough love and regret, dug up my own family fights we don't talk about. Broke nails that universal struggle - pushing through pain, chasing dreams, and picking up the pieces. It left me gutted but somehow lighter.

Really enjoyed this film. The storyline was interesting and truly emotionally moving. The cinematography was great as well. Locations and sets were beautiful to the eye and they painted the perfect picture which coincided with the storyline. The actors were cast well and the director did an excellent job portraying this story through film. Really hope to see more things come from Eubank with both his writing and his directing. Rodeo/western life is romanticized so much nowadays that it's refreshing to see a hard life true story about a cowboy that has hit so many roadblocks in life, but continues to persevere. Highly recommend to others -- enjoy!

This film left me thinking more about it when it was over. I guess my score is a bit harsh. I'm sticking with it though because it made me feel desperate & futile whist I was watching it and reminds me of troubles I have with my own children. Maybe that's the point of filming such stories. There are some predictable story lines, some direction you might not expect. Yes, I guess this is a modern day Western. I love the locations and the cinematography - go on, it's worth a watch. No spoilers here but it could have ended in a number of ways. I pondered why this had scored so highly on the Prime reviews and concluded it's all very credible, could happen and the relationships are well worked through.
