Jun 15, 2016 a wonderful movie worked with a shortage of dialogue that tells of deep silences and works perfectly with a wonderful choreography between the actors and the camera. See more

Sep 1, 2013 Hernandez is one of those directors who make the same movie over and over. He's also one of those who use their own cinema language. Unique camera work and lack of dialogues. Total focus on main characters and romantic sphere of their lives which moves everything what's in the background aside and which makes the movie a theater play like and very meditative. Off camera comments could be skipped most of the time since they're there to inform about obvious and therefore make a viewer dumb but on the other hand along with baroque music they make the story more universal, something that could happened centuries ago. What made me dislike his "Bramadero" was going to strongly into love scenes which made it all pornography to me. There is a lot of intimacy here too, the whole movie is very sensual but it's all tasteful, sophisticated and serves only as a tool to tell something more than that. See more

Jul 27, 2013 fantastic camera work and musical score See more

Oct 20, 2012 Pretty weak and self indulgent film though at times beautifully photographed. If you're into young latin boys (without a lot of story line), this is your movie. See more

Mar 26, 2011 "Broken Sky" is the breakup of an ideal gay relationship between Jonas and Gerardo in Mexico City. They meet at a University, are attracted to each other, have sex instantly, fall in love but something goes wrong. DirectorJulian Hernandez has little dialogue to explain things and relies on images and style to convey his movie. After separating, the boys discover discos and other hot male bodies before, eventually, ending up together. The movie is like a long poem in it's depiction of sex and love. Even I was misty-eyed at the rejections during reconcilation. As gay movies go, it's slow and meandering but I found it worthwhile as art. See more

Mar 20, 2011 With truly passionate scenes, a few lines during the whole film and an indecipherable ending, Hernandez's film flows sometimes sluggishly slow and some others takes you around Mexico City life, love, despair and hope through the eyes of two young boys. Those who have a hope set high for love will like it. See more
