About this movie

Nicole Conn, director and writer of classic romances including A PERFECT ENDING, ELENA UNDONE and CLAIRE OF THE MOON presents her most personal new film MORE BEAUTIFUL FOR HAVING BEEN BROKEN. McKenzie (Zoë Ventoura), a broken FBI agent who's been suspended from her job and is struggling with the loss of her mother, travels to Lake Mervielle, the small mountain town she used to visit as a child. Upon arrival, she is befriended by Freddie (Cale Ferrin), a young boy with special needs who possesses the extraordinary gift of healing others through his unbroken spirit and unique outlook on life. Though McKenzie is hurting, she begins to see through Freddie's eyes as the puzzle pieces fall into place when she meets Samantha (Kayla Radomski), Freddie's mother. McKenzie and Samantha develop an unexpected relationship that turns fiercely passionate and intimate. When Vivienne (Harley Jane Kozak), a former Congresswoman with roots established in Lake Mervielle, threatens to expose McKenzie's past, will Freddie and Samantha be able to keep the family they always dreamed of? MORE BEAUTIFUL FOR HAVING BEEN BROKEN also stars Bruce Davison (Academy Award Nominee- Longtime Companion), French Stewart (3rd Rock From The Sun) and Brooke Elliott (Drop Dead Diva).

This movie had potential. It was intriguing to figure out the relationship between Samantha and Vivienne at first, however I am disappointed in the ending. It was so abrupt and there were missed opportunities to demonstrate Sam and Mackenzie's relationship. It was an abrupt happy ending, which is great- kudos and thank you for making it a happy ending!

" Stir, touch..." This film is an authentic jewel, full of creativity ! It addresses many essential themes, such as family, illness, tolerance, LOVE with a touch of dance (of rare elegance) which makes this film a real masterpiece. I highly recommend it. To watch again and again... Thank you also to its creator, Nicole Conn, as well as to the talented castings who helped bring these beautiful characters to life. You all upset me ! Congratulations

Nope, guilt trip to exception by using a special needs child as a deceit.
