Broken Star

About This Movie

So, Broken Star is this 2018 thriller that really digs into the psyche of isolation. The story revolves around Markey Marlowe, a starlet who's hit rock bottom—her friends are gone, and her career is imploding. She's holed up in a duplex with a landlord who, let's just say, has some unsettling qualities. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and you can almost feel her claustrophobia seeping through the screen. The pacing is interesting; it builds slowly but deliberately, kind of forcing you to sit in that discomfort with her. The performances are raw, especially Marlowe’s, as she captures desperation and vulnerability. It's not flashy but has a certain grit to it that makes it stand out.

Strong atmosphere of isolation.Tension builds gradually.Interesting character dynamics.
