      Steve D It is really hard to pull for the relationship. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/05/24 Full Review Connor S Not the most lively plot, but Katharine is as marvelous as always. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/02/23 Full Review Audience Member good chick flick a/k/a weepie Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Early Hepburn in clunky drama of a fool and the woman he doesn't appreciate until it's almost too late but who loves him anyway. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Break of Hearts (1935) -- [3.0] -- Katharine Hepburn plays an aspiring composer who falls in love with a successful conductor. He cheats on her, they split up, they miss each other, they get back together. Snore. Supporting player John Beal is five times more appealing than phoney baloney leading man Charles Boyer. There's no chemistry between Hepburn and Boyer, and no believable reason they should ever want to stay together. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member good drama great cast Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
