Not Broken

About This Movie

Not Broken explores the internal struggles of a dyslexic artist grappling with society’s view of her disabilities. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating at times, yet it’s balanced with bursts of her artistic expression. The pacing feels deliberate, letting moments linger, which really pulls you into her emotional landscape. While performances are understated, they resonate deeply, evoking a sense of empathy and understanding. It’s distinctive for not shying away from the complexities of mental health and the frustration that often accompanies it. The practical effects are minimal, but they serve the narrative well, reinforcing her isolation without being flashy. You get drawn into her world, and it's a raw, honest portrayal of feeling trapped by labels.
