Broken Wings Ratings & Reviews
Premiere Magazine
Glenn Kenny
Bergman wants the viewer to empathize more with the characters' perseverance than their pain, and he pulls it off, thanks to his sharp eye, compassion, and humor, and of course to the performances -- particularly that of the luminous Maron.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
[Bergman] draws fine performances from the actors.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
It's not until the film is over that we fully appreciate the originality of an Israeli film that focuses completely on the family crisis while leaving politics behind altogether.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
Broken Wings has heart and a poetic soul.
Washington Post
Mark Jenkins
Well-made, if rather predictable, new-age melodrama.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Writer-director Bergman's debut doesn't have stylistic pizazz, and some of its scenes sag a little under the weight of mournful music. But the story is told with stirring simplicity that builds momentum.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
The performances are uniformly strong.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
Broken Wings tells the kind of story that only a cinematic neophyte would find novel. But it tells that story with such emotional nuance, and with such fine performances, that it somehow feels fresh.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
While there's nothing ordinary about Bergman's accomplished family story, the line resonates with the director's own philosophy.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Maron, a lovely young actress with a gift for soulful silence, does some heartbreaking work.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
It reminds us, after all, that throughout the world, all family feeling is local.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Broken Wings is not a great film. But it's a good, solid one that should connect with intelligent audiences as strongly here as it did abroad.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
A sensitive and well-observed drama that, while not breaking new ground, marks its director-screenwriter as someone to watch.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
This intimate, warmly made family portrait always feels true.
New York Post
Megan Lehmann
Grief is never ordinary, so while the bereaved Israeli family at the center of first-time writer-director Nir Bergman's delicate tone poem may be unremarkable, their suffering is singular.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Nir Bergman's aching domestic drama concerns an Israeli family of five shattered by the recent death of the father.
Newsday
John Anderson
Touching, real and superbly acted.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
An engrossing Israeli kitchen sink drama.
L.A. Weekly
Ella Taylor
There is a seasoned richness and vivid specificity to these lives, for all their hurts and losses.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
The power of the sensitive, clear-eyed Israeli drama Broken Wings lies in writer-director Nir Bergman's understanding of the tangible challenges of getting on with life following a death in the family.
