Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOne of the two police officers notices the song "Wise Up" by Aimee Mann and tells her colleague that they heard the song in a movie. The movie is most likely Magnolia (1999), for which the song was originally written. That film also dealt with strained parent-child relationships. Also when the song plays in Magnolia, Julianne Moore is sitting alone in her car in the rain, which is what Bae Doona is doing in Broker.
- Quotes
Dong-soo: It might rain. Take an umbrella
Moon So-young: Come and get me if it rains. With an umbrella.
Featured review
Quiet Film About Family
"Shoplifters," one of the best movies I've seen in recent years, led me to this film by the same director. "Broker" shares a lot in common with the other film, mostly in giving us another ragtag assortment of characters who ban together as a family in the absence of more traditional relatives. Both films are about family being defined by the people who support you in life, not necessarily those you share blood with. I liked "Broker," but not anywhere nearly as much as "Shoplifters." It's got a laid back road trip vibe, but it's also got a whole bunch of plot strands that don't completely get resolved satisfactorily. One in particular, about some gangsters after money owed them, feels especially unnecessary and even left me feeling a bit confused.
So not a home run, but there's still a lot in the movie to like and I would recommend it based on that.
Grade: B+
