This was a cool movie, and keep in mind that doesn't necessarily mean it was a particularly good movie. This Movie is Broken is a tribute concert/feature film to Toronto and it's hipster native band Broken Social Scene. Now I enjoy Toronto, and Broken Social Scene is one of my favourite bands, so for me, this movie was really cool, and really enjoyable, but it's also not one that I would recommend to everyone I know and meet. It's the kind of film where you need to have an appreciation for the subject matter in order to leave the film feeling satisfied. I definitely left the film with satiation.
I guess to explain myself when I say that the film cannot be rated as particularly good, is that it's unabashedly a low-budget film, with a weak script, and an editing pace that would annoy 90% of people out there. But then again this is mostly a concert film, and then there's a love story that was kind of thrown in there to fill time/make the film more accessible to audiences, and make an excuse to shoot scenes around Toronto's trendy west side (insert gratuitous shot of The Drake Hotel).
