Broken English

Nora is facing a classic thirty-something crisis: she hasn’t got a man and she can’t seem to stick to one. An endless string of Mr. Wrongs march in and out of her life, while her mother and married best friend are nagging her to settle down. Just as Nora seems ready to resign to her fate, a handsome Frenchman ?with one of the worst English accents around- lands in her life and swipes her off her feet. With superb skill Zoe Cassavetes performs a detailed anatomy of human relationships delivering a frank and witty study of contemporary neuroses in the refreshing style of modern-day love stories, such as Linklater’s Before Sunset. It must run in the family.
