Marky Marlo (Analeigh Tipton) is a Hollywood star out of control. She assaulted her mother and was found with drugs. She was awarded house arrest in a rented home owned by a major fan, Daryl (Tyler Labine). Daryl would do anything for Marky.

The film had a lot of Marky boring first person narrative about life. Daryl should have been more creepy and less shy. Pretty much a waste of time. A little voyeurism.

When I sat down to watch "Broken Star" I didn't even know about the movie, nor had I heard about it. I was given the chance to watch it, and decided to do so, because I was under the impression that it was going to be a horror movie, and it also had Tyler Labine in it, which was a plus for me.

Right, well I managed to endure 35 minutes of this meaningless and equally pointless endeavor that is known as "Broken Star". Wow, just wow. This movie totally failed to enthrall me and provided no form of entertainment in any possible way.

The characters in the movie were one-dimensional cardboard cut outs and had little or no function when they milled about doing pointless things on the screen. And it didn't really help that the actors and actresses had next to nothing to work with in terms of being able to bring the characters to life on the screen.

The storyline was horribly boring and I was losing interest already 10 minutes into the movie. But I managed to stick with it, but had to toss in the towel and give up from sheer and utter boredom after 35 minutes into it.

I have absolutely no interest in returning to finish this movie, and not even Tyler Labine could manage to lift up this movie in any way, as he was restrained in every aspect by a lousy script, horrible storyline and so forth.

I found Tipton exceptional and Lebine good as well playing two HIGHLY damaged, even borderline-psychopathic characters engaged in a "nasty, sick perverted," yet strangely moving relationship. (Not that it excuses any of the actions committed by both the characters in the movie---particularly those of Darryl (Lebine)----but you do end up understanding at least partially what why they do some of the things they do).

Now for the ending...

I think one of the reasons many dislike this movie is because of the ending. Way too ambiguous, they say. Too confusing. I say it is believable if you pay attention and think about it after the credits have rolled.

Either A) Markey or Darryl "changed the ending" to start all over again and redefine their relationship-----and not ending up with having anyone tormented/killed(which then would make this psychological thriller take a sharp turn into supernatural territory-----or, B) Markey dreamed the whole thing up, as another reviewer commented. And she's "starting over again" but in a more brave, more positive light, without the initial whiny self-pity and narcissism. (Exemplified by the motto "Be alone but brave" scrawled across her arm at the end).

That is hampered by her discovery that Darryl is stalking her. Will she reject him this time? Probably so.

(On the other hand, it's implied the two of them kiss at the end of the dream, implying some sort of a relationship between both of them. Was it somehow a prophetic dream? Could be....)

This ending is reinforced by the clue that she reawakens and looks in the mirror like she did two other times in the movie and she does so in the nighttime----like she was having intermittent dreams----like all of us have. Her calendar after she wakes up is not filled like it was before, implying she just started living in the house.

Personally to me that is the most believable explanation, but the first also could be possible. Remember, too, that Markey also told her friend near the end that she "controlled" everything, implying either a dream or that she had more of a chance to "rewrite" the ending (supernaturally) than Darryl did.

Maybe she did not want to give in to her sick attraction to Darryl at the end and just kiss him in the dream as it is implied.

Ultimately, there is still room for ambiguity at the end. Will Darryl and Markey somehow (and somewhat improbably) end up together? Will he kill her or just befriend her? What will happen next.

Who knows. LOL.

If anything, this a disturbing and thought-provoking examination of Hollywood narcissistic, empty culture and its effects on broken people's lives and all of us.
