karjens I don't think there are any spoilers but checked it just in case. I found this by chance and I actually liked it. This is one of those movies where I could predict what's going to happen but yet was still surprised when it did. I thought there was some really great chemistry between Alex and Sara. Though anyone watching this just for gratuitous lesbian sex scenes may want to find something else. This isn't an action thriller. It's psychological which means it's going to be slower paced. If there was anything thing that really threw me in this movie it was that when I saw Alex (Madeline Zima) I kept seeing little Grace from the Nanny haha, but after thirty minutes or so, I realized that she's now 30 and a great adult actress and wow can she play crazy. I recommend it. If for no other reason this is one of the rare films depicting lesbians that isn't the painful clichés and stereotypes we usually have to endure.
Jesse Boland This is one solid mess of bad over acting, and a terribly written story that seems to have been directed over Skype. Fill the screen with beautiful women and hope that that will be distracting enough to not notice that you did not prepare anything before the actors arrived on set. Madeline Zima just looks evil, and that makes things that much more transparent. The camera work is all way to close up, and claustrophobic, and the post is nonexistent, this whole thing looks like it was shot on a low quality HD camera. I did not Enjoy this movie at all, and will not in any form recommend it. IF you want to see Madeline Zima just watch old episodes of Californication.
adi_2002 Sara is a student and works as a bartender. One night she meets Alex a nice girl and she is too drunk to be able to go home alone so Sara offers to drive her. Arrived at home between the two a romance is born and then intervenes Eric, a schoolmate that Sara likes him. The three have fun at Alex's house in one evening then invites Eric to leave because they feel better without his company. They try to know each other better and thereby finds that both are orphans. Alex has a stepparent and take them by surprise one evening when the two are found kissing on the trampoline. Alex has a much better situation then Sarah, she has her own car and a fancy house that has remained as legacy, a half is her and can be visited on weekends. Sara loses her job after being accused by a colleague Brooke and because of her loses and the place where she lives. Alex tells her that she is unsatisfied by Nina the wife of her stepfather and would be better if he would disappear from the landscape and reminds her that she is in a similar situation with Brooke and if the two would die, their problems would solve. Sara of course do not believe she meant seriously but it turns out that she wasn't joking and she kills Brooke but put the murder in Sara's hands. Now she is the one who has to do the same to keep her part of the agreement and for retaliation. But this will not be so easy and will go through a lot to be able to make excuses for the police and make them believe that she is not the murderer.It is a very fast film with a lot of lesbianism frequent sequences the shift from relationships between girl-girl and boy-girl, of course it has flaws when the police comes to Alex's home to ask Sara about what she did the night when the murder took place, before she leave, tells her if she has a clue that might help her in the investigation, to give her a call but the policewoman doesn't let a card or a phone number and Sara could not have known her number. Then you do not go with a girl you just met that night and you do not get in her car, find other options such as to call her a cab.Not the best movie but it reminded me somehow of Wild Things and Cruel Intentions.
Isvind89 This psychological thriller follows two college girls who makes a pact to kill each others enemies. The summary of the Breaking The Girl doesn't imply all the twists and turns. It's a sexy, smart and interesting movie that keeps the audience captivated. Alex (Madeline Zima) is a rich collage chick with some, obvious, dubious character flaws. Sara (Agnes Bruckner) is the scholarship student from the other side of the track. There is some steaming hot scenes between the two and some plotting of murder. Does it sound familiar? It's, on paper, a rip-off of the Wild Things movie(s). Although the similarities between them I must say that I enjoyed Breaking The Girls more. It's not only because I'm a huge fan of Zima or the director Jamie Babbitt. It's because the story is actually rather good. Where Wild Things is full of archetypes Breaking The Girls play around and, eventually, trick the viewer into believing they have the story figured out. For those who are familiar with the thriller genre in general this movie might be a bit predictable at places. However, it's a nice and captivating film with great acting, directing, soundtrack and vision.
