      the most mundane truth

      The first thing that attracted me to this movie was its title, so when I watched it, I was always trying to find the connection between the title and the movie itself. It wasn't until a third of the movie aired where Julian appeared that I found that little connection. Then look forward to their further connection. As a result, other than because French speaks Broken English, because of a little bit of fun generated by broken, I really have trouble finding the relationship between them....

      This is a movie for women - "Bad English"

      This small-budget independent film released in 2007 is not very famous, but it is worth sharing as a snack that women love. Like those romantic soap operas that console the cooking woman, she shows who she is as a pet as soon as she comes out. Lonely single white-collar workers, urban women with anxiety disorders, 30-year-old youths who have been forgotten by love, unable to get out of their habitual caged birds, and "leftover women" who keep filling in information on dating websites. The...

      not only love

      I could almost give it four and a half stars if it weren't for the music being so crudely done.
      Because it's real and simple.

      First of all, I love the title, lame or broken, it should all make sense.

      Secondly, the appearance of the heroine is what I like, with a little sense of age, but the outline of the body and facial features are very delicate and attractive.

      A little bit of anxiety and depression symptoms, but far from pathological.

      In addition,...

      First find the love and happiness within yourself

      I never understood what the film had to do with broken English. Is it because the hero is French and speaks bad English? The male protagonist's English is not very bad.

      The heroine has always longed for love, but has been "abandoned" several times. When I saw it, I felt sad and worried for her. Her mom put it so well that you are faced with so many choices, it's better to go through these confusions and then. . . I don’t remember the original words clearly, but my understanding is...

      Take care of your love

      I watched the movie several times at different times, and the scene that impressed me the most was when Nora's ex-boyfriend ran into her in the store, she was ashamed to introduce Julien to him, and she started to break down , the point that caused her to collapse is: Why don't I introduce Julien to others in an open and honest way? It's shameful rudeness, I could have done better, why act like a monster. Then she started taking sedatives, which Julien watched the whole time. When she finally...

      A movie that only "women" can understand. You will miss your flight - from "Love Is" to "Crappy", feel the love in the moment, and those who know will understand...

      I am in a good mood when watching this movie, because it is too similar to what happens around me, love, loneliness, meeting strangers, and so on. It's simple and...

    Movie plot

    Whether it is a man or a woman, if they still have no stable love relationship or family life at a certain age, it is neither because they are too attached to the ease and comfort of a person, nor is it “have been difficult for the sea”, it can only be said that this person is in The handling of feelings is still too immature. Nora Wilder is 35 years old this year. Her refined dress and calm smile all show that she is a successful...

    Evaluation action

    The role of Nora Wilder is Parker Posey's most realistic and dimensional character so far.
    -"Los Angeles Times"
    The refreshing performances and new directing techniques cannot conceal the dull and melancholic tone of the film.
