Movie Reviews of Broken Wings
Movie Review: How Grief Is Mediated
Summary: 4 Stars
A fascinating film that cuts from person to person as they act out their responses to the sudden death of the father. He makes the briest of appearance, from behind, in a home movie, mock-acting a basketball [play with his boys in the loungeroom of their small apartment. The acting is wonderful as is the scripting. And the humour that counterpoints the severity of tone, perfectly timed. The retracted star from an otherwise brilliant film, is for the rather mundane cinematography, though the claustrophobic atmosphere created, seemed appropriate.
Summary of Broken Wings
An uncommonly powerful film, Broken Wings captures a family in mid-disintegration: A midwife at an Israeli hospital struggles to hold her children together in the wake of their father's death. Maya, a gaunt, pale young woman, aspires to win a band contest; Ido, a boy bullied at school, tries to film himself jumping from heights; Yair, a teenage boy, wallows in the meaninglessness of existence as he hands out flyers, dressed in a mouse costume. This may sound tedious or excruciating, but it's given vivid life by an incredible cast and a humor that manages to be absurd and a little sad at the same time. The movie embraces its characters with a profound empathy; it's hard to imagine that anyone could watch Broken Wings and not be deeply moved by the end. Not surprisingly, the movie has won numerous awards at film festivals around the world. --Bret FetzerArt House & International DVD Video
