Review of Broker (2022) by Ancientamber — 25 Feb 2023
Basically Shoplifters but not quite as good. I thought that, at times, the movie was a bit too saccharine, too feel-good considering the subject matter. It all ends a touch too neatly.
The film kept threatening to emotionally destroy me, but never quite did, and I'm not sure why. The score was sometimes great, but sometimes heavy-handed. Acting ranged from good to outstanding, if perhaps a little too reserved occasionally. It may seem like I'm being a bit too critical for an 8/10, but understand that the film is quite close to being a masterpiece, but there's just a few missteps in tone and pacing that are glaring in the light of that.
