My reviews about Breaking the Girls:

First of all, I liked this movie.

The plot of Breaking the Girls is good and interesting. The ending is has a big twist, which is perfect for a thriller. What happened at the ending was hard to predict, specially the identity of Alex’s stepmother was impossible to guess. The ending has made the movie really interesting. The twist of plot at the end of Breaking the Girls is pretty balanced, its not too much twist like what we saw in the Wild Things series, where it seemed irritating.

 The acting of almost all the characters of Breaking the Girls seemed good, except Madeline Zima. Somehow, her acting didn’t seem all natural. But all other artists were very good fit according to their characters. Agnes Bruckner looked amazing throughout the movie.

The makeups and dialogues of Breaking the Girls are very good. The screenplay and directions are also impressive.

What this movie lacked badly was some nude scenes. The lesbian relation between Alex and others is a big part of Breaking the Girls. But this movie has absolutely no frontal nudity. The appeal of an erotic thriller movie surely decreases with the lack of enough nudity.

Although I’ve said it has is no frontal nudity, but the nature of Breaking the Girls has made it not suitable for kids.

So, overall, I’ve enjoyed watching Breaking the Girls. Although the lack of nudity is on the negative side of this movie, but the combination of good plot, good acting and good screenplay has made this movie enjoyable. I’d recommend all movie lovers to watch Breaking the Girls.
