Critic Reviews

  • Derek Malcolm, This is London

    [Bettany's] tour de force performance lights up the screen more than anything else.

  • Catherine Shoard, Guardian [UK]

    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.

  • Henry Fitzherbert, Daily Express

    Sincere but poorly scripted and badly acted by leads Dan Fredenburgh and Doraly Rosa.

  • Laura Bushell, Little White Lies

    Broken Lines is all about Bettany, who gives a fantastic performance. But even he can't paper over the cracks.

  • Patrick Peters, Empire Magazine

    By no means totally broken, but it doesn't quite deliver the way it could.
