I guess coming of age in England is about the same as here.

In today's film, a feisty young woman, part girl still, is facing the uphill of making the transition to an adult. Should she accept it or should she hang around and be an adolescent in the sort of fucked up sense.

She takes the tougher route and grows up.

We do not get to choose the path to our rites of passage. And such is the case here.

Broken (2012)

with Tim Roth and the wonderful young woman Eloise Laurence as "Skunk". The teenager in question.

Cillian Murphy helps out as a teacher.

This is not a great movie. Not everyone should see it. There are too many hurdles as though the writers sought to really really make it hard for our girl.

Some of the strands of story are abandoned. Keerist, they would need a whole television series to resolve it all.

But I enjoyed it as long as it lasted even though I did have my hand on the FF button occasionally. Or maybe closer to the stop.

A 3 out of Netflix5.
