What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?

About This Movie

What Becomes of the Broken Hearted? is a gritty drama that digs deep into the complexities of family and loss. You can feel the weight of Jake's choices as he spirals in McClutchy's Bar, soaked in regret and bravado. The atmosphere is thick with tension, especially during the family reunion at Nig's funeral—it's raw and uncomfortable. Ian Mune really captures that palpable sense of despair and disconnection. The pacing can be uneven, but it adds to the film's authenticity. Performances are genuinely affecting, particularly in how they portray grief and unresolved conflict. It’s not just about the tragedy; it’s about how life keeps moving in the wake of it. The film’s practical aspects, like the bar setting, ground the emotional beats.
