Nelly has escaped from her wealthy and controlling family. As she dances in a strip club, she meets Markos, a small yet charismatic gangster, who helps her run away from her stepfather's henchmen. Markos soon becomes her protector and lover. He brings her into Broadway, Athens, an abandoned entertainment complex squatted by a small community of dancers, tramps, thieves and a captive monkey. For a while, everything goes well, even when Broadway hosts a mysterious man, injured and covered with bandages, wanted dead by Athens' most dangerous mafia. However, when Markos gets arrested and imprisoned, the newcomer will take an unexpectedly important place in the gang.

Amid some uneven characterizations, the cast enlivens “Broadway” with their compelling performances, sealed by a stirring finale and a characteristically soaring score from Gabriel Yared.

Film Is A Fine Affair

Sometimes timid in its drama and interactions, but not shortsighted in telling us what the characters feel behind their own performances

Rated: 70/100

Washington Blade

An ambitiously sweeping narrative that feels like equal parts film noir and Charles Dickens as it takes us into a colorful and morally ambiguous underworld...

Shadows on the Wall

While the setting ripples with knowing details, the storytelling is awkward and elusive. And the film is never as transgressive as it pretends to be.

Rated: 2/5

NYC Movie Guru

Audacious and unconventional, but ultimately underwhelming and less than the sum of its many parts.
