Film review content

‘Breaking Point’, the latest film by directors Abigail Ababio and ShaToya Rose (who also stars in the film)
tells the story of two girls who meet by chance after reaching their breaking points, hence the title of the film. Lisa (Angelika Kupczyk) is a drug addict and Aaliyah (ShaToya Rose) who suffers from bulimia believe that their addictions replace their losses.

Taunted by images of skinny models portrayed in the media and the neglect of her family, Aaliyah falls into the trap of an eating disorder that is beyond her control. From her thoughts and feelings, we learn the extent of her habit and just how it has affected her life. After receiving another feckless note from her mother pinned to the fridge, Aaliyah believes that it’s confirmation of her worthlessness and causes
her troubles.

Lisa on the other hand, whose aim is to cover up the bereavement of her boyfriend, becomes the prey of hard drugs convinced that they allow her to escape her poor reality. Constantly reminding herself of the past, Lisa slowly pushes herself to the edge (figuratively) but reaches the limit after realising that she doesn’t want to end up the same as him.

Unaware that a more fitting life is possible for the both of them, they accept their fate from the start.
‘Breaking Point’ is a film about the stresses of life and the tolls they takeon people. It’s a film that recognises eating disorders and drug abuse whilst disregarding the idea that people can’t escape from their clutches. It’s a realistic representation that provides a complete in-their-shoes outlook that keeps the audience engrossed from beginning to end.

Eventually, Aaliyah and Lisa start to gain control of their fixations in hope of being freed from captivity,
with the help of one another but it’s not an easy fight as the directors (Abigail Ababio and ShaToya Rose) have the tendency to introduce new dilemmas just when you think the battle is over.

The film arrives here after its extremely positive critical acclaim from the Sundance film festival that emphasises it’s a must-see film. So should you believe the hype? Yes! ‘Breaking Point’ is a
very moving film and has some great performances from the two leading ladies
Angelika Kupczyk and ShaToya Rose. When a film pays consideration to such
predicaments and provides courage to characters who hardly receive any
recognition, it has to be saluted. It’s a film containing ups and downs, smiles
and frowns but nonetheless is a touching, genuine perception of life’s
struggles.
