Broken (2012 Rufus Norris)

Norris's feature debut is nicely cinematic. From a novel by Daniel Clay, written by Mark O'Rowe.

Eloise Laurence is Skunk, Tim Roth, Cillian Murphy, Robert Emms, Rory Kinnear, Faye Daveney, Bill Milner (Son of Rambow), Denis Lawson.

Could have been very depressing but is nicely energetic and funny. Love the weird music that accompanies scenes at car dump, the shit-throwing kids, "what a weird kid you are", scene where she is laughing for real when brother (Milner) attaches clothes pegs. Car dropping out of sky. Skunk's boyfriend George Sargeant (how difficult was that to find?) crashing his bike into flowers.

Shot by Rob Hardy.
