Reviews
Each encounter is a finely observed and beautifully performed vignette in its own right, but together they sketch out a past from which our grey Lothario has been irrevocably set adrift.
Womanizer cads may be front and center in movies. But surprisingly sometimes, so are the impressive accompanying ensemble righteous females who cut them nicely down to size, and the quirky and twisted Broken Flowers is no exception.
The auteur's unbeatable weirdness here mutates into preciosity.
This is a film about insufficiency on so many levels, a film not of hipster indifference, but of a certain effete inability to react.
It's about questions, not easy answers, and its refusal to provide them might frustrate some viewers unaccustomed to Jarmusch's elliptical style.
A marvelous movie, with Bill Murray scoring again in the realm of drama.
Jim Jarmusch vuelve a sorprender con una película minimalista donde los pequeños detalles, varios personajes episódicos, y un casi imperturbable Bill Murray, nos conducen hacia una travesía extraña y sugestiva.
... anyone with a 'past' will find something that resonates.
How absolutely fascinating and depressing it must be to have a past.
A beguiling road movie, where the stops along the way are of the heart, Broken Flowers is a sublime delicacy.
Murray manages, almost impossibly, to come up with still another rich variation on his Depleted Man persona, and his performance is at once enormously generous and fiercely, concisely witty.
Though bits of this plodding film work pretty well...Broken Flowers is a mixed bag of vignettes.
... um retrato perfeito de seu protagonista, revelando-se mais interessante quando visto à distância.
As Bill Murray tells a young drifter after buying the kid a sandwich, 'All there is, is this. The present. That's it.' If Jim Jarmusch knows what that is, he's not telling.
