ellencontributor There are two over done misogynistic stereotypes of women. The evil woman and the virginal girl. These women obviously weren't virginal, so of course they had to be evil. Such a cliché! Then there's the fact this movie wasn't even original. It was basically the plot to any of the Wild Things movies.Not to mention the plot made absolutely no sense. In real life, the police would have figured out that Sara and Nina were sisters and that they had a MOTIVE to kill David, and they wouldn't have let them off the hook so easily. That was ridiculous.But whatever. If that's what you're into. I am just disappointed because I found it to be misogynistic and boring. I just wanted to see a movie about lesbians and was let down. Besides a few kissing scenes, this wasn't a lesbian movie.

Arvin Solsona This is the first homosexual crime / thriller film that I've watched which I thought would gonna be unique in terms of thrill and action. Breaking the Girls is a film that I must say, a film that is made of utterly impossible story. Plot is predictable before you reaches the half hours of the film, and it's bad how the climax jumps with huge plot holes and missing factual and errors of each relations of the characters and the main story.Breaking the Girl has failed to deliver a unique same-sex crime film trying to give a twist which has failed to give "wow" factor. Great acting though.

suite92 Parties, booze, back biting bad behaviour set at a school with a law program.Sara (from the lower class) is on scholarship and works more than one job. She and Eric like one another. Brooke wants Eric to herself. Alex (from old money) is a lesbian Cassanova who wants Sara because she's straight and because she thinks Sara is vulnerable. Brooke (another privileged young woman) gets Sara fired from her job, which gets her scholarship revoked, and gets her kicked out of housing. Alex's step mom (real mom died in swimming pool) is five years older than Alex, and quite nasty to Alex (like don't visit home without calling first). The heat comes from Alex's father, though.So, Brooke and Nina are the obvious targets. Sarah despises Brooke, and Alex despises Nina. So, Sara and Alex discuss this, but not really at any length.Alex kills Brooke and frames Sara, then kills her father and frames Sara. Nice.Were there important missing pieces that Sara needs to know about? Will Sara be able to extricate herself from the murder charges? Will everything we think we know be thrown out in the last three minutes?------Scores-------Cinematography: 8/10 Mostly fine; camera a bit wobbly now and then.Sound: 8/10 OK.Acting: 2/10 The only good acting I saw in this film came from Sam Anderson and John Stockwell; both performances were short. The other performances were between sub-par and bad. The relationship between Alex and Sara was not believable. Shawn Ashmore does better with a stronger director.Screenplay: 4/10 Derivative and boring. For a bright person trained in the law, Sara navigates her situation very poorly. The exposition of motivation was not all that good, and the poor acting did not help. The turnaround in the plot at the end was a fairly nice touch in terms of plot, but was also yet another full-scale affirmation of corruption. There were so many in this film.

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.
