Critic's Notebook

In every way Mr. Russell’s movie, and he handles it all with ease. It’s a pleasure to see someone understand their character down into their bones.

Broke is not a new classic in the Western, but it certainly proves that Russell can elevate a project by himself.

Rated: 6/10

Sean Chandler Talks About

Broke feels like a blend of To Build a Fire and a sad country song. Wyatt Russell shines as a rodeo rider stranded in a blizzard, reflecting on lost love, pain, and purpose. A quiet, emotional western drama worth checking out for genre fans.

Rated: B

Solid performances from Wyatt Russell and Dennis Quaid can't keep this rodeo drama on its horse.

Broke gets by on its recognizable themes and Russell’s performance, which papers over the fact that little here is particularly new and not all of it works.

Rated: 2.5/5

Collider

Eubank's direction has a tenderness for its characters and for the little worlds they build around themselves, bursting full of hopes and dreams that we really want to see them achieve.

Rated: 7/10

Not hallmark or angel (both which I enjoy): perusing other reviews and perhaps Dennis Quaid’s billing attracted folks looking for something easier to digest? I dunno. Kinda ironic maybe bc I came in with measured expectations and found the sadness and darkness of it very surprising in a great way. It was a powerful story about resilience. Beautiful cinematography, good score and soundtrack, well edited, and incredible performances. A very well done little indie!

Dennis Quaid is a great actor, and this whole cast was very talented. I generally like to watch serious dramas, but this was too depressing, even for me. Very dismal. I was left at the end wishing that I hadn't watched it. There were also a lot of unanswered questions, which I find mildly annoying. Beautiful cinematography and great acting, but I found this to be unnecessarily dark.

I was genuinely shocked by how much I loved this movie. An unexpected surprise. Half survival half drama. This movie brings in many parts of western culture today, the lifestyle, the art, and the music. The story was exciting and realistic. The scenes were beautiful. Never seen loading hay shown so perfect. Wyatt Russell is great. I will look for the director’s next film.

A great movie if you want to watch beautiful scenery but recognize even city people with a second cabin could survive with more skills and non cliches than this “cowboy”
