Corey T Lovely indie feature with a lot of heart that looks like it came from a major studio. A teenager (Aidan Bristow) loses his single mother in a horrific car accident and faces living with a stern grandmother (Oscar nominee Sally Kirkland) whom he has never known. A touching portrayal of two lost souls finding one another through their own darkness. Broken Roads is also a story of renewal, of not letting one's past define one's future, as grief gives way to forging new bonds. The film boasts powerful, affecting performances; from the masterful Kirkland and appealing newcomers Bristow and Bush to the fine supporting players Watts, Marquand and Glass, each actor creates an authentic, passionately felt portrait. Director Chambers' premise is engaging and his well-written script is heartfelt and thought provoking. Beautiful cinematography gives the film high-budget texture and a first-rate score adds to the professional quality. A little film with a lot to recommend it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/06/25 Full Review Audience Member It is very poor acting. The story line is okay. But the delivery of the film is lacking. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Bad, poorly conceived, probably written by a man without children. Just torment to watch, it's shite. Get a clue. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member I saw Broken Roads in Lake Havasu, AZ. The theater was almost full. though the film was long, it didn't really seem so. It kept my interest and kept me entertained throughout. The acting, camera work, music, and editing all contributed to a pleasant experience. Listening to comments on the way out, I didn't hear anything negative. Everyone seemed to enjoy the film. Some may not like the amount of yelling in the film, but it's part of the story. A teen who never knew his dad, loses his mother and is forced to live with a grandmother he never met. They don't get along well, which accounts for all the yelling. It's a great story of loss, broken relationships, and healing. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
