3/5
[Bettany's] tour de force performance lights up the screen more than anything else. Go to Full Review Catherine Shoard Guardian 09/29/2011
3/5
There's a stonking cast - Paul Bettany as the waitress's disabled partner, Rita Tushingham as a knackered caff worker, Olivia Williams as the glossy fiancee - but they're saddled with dialogue sagging with thematic relevance or site-specific colour.

2/5
Broken Lines is all about Bettany, who gives a fantastic performance. But even he can't paper over the cracks. Go to Full Review Sophie Kingston-Smith CineVue 12/01/2018
3/5
Broken Lines is flawed but affecting, and despite its occasional slips into melodrama, Bettany consistently resets the tone, making the film worth seeing for his performance alone. Go to Full Review Sarah Manvel Kamera.co.uk 08/06/2018
Broken Lines is a marvellous showcase for Bettany, a useful calling card for Rosa and Fredenburgh, and something for the rest of us to chalk up to experience. Go to Full Review Henry Fitzherbert Daily Express (UK) 09/29/2011
