You should be prepared for some high-minded pretension, lots of self-consciously arty shots, and long stretches of apparently profound nothingness.

The technique - and this movie is about nothing if not technique, both Crane's and the filmmaker's - isn't particularly successful.

Despite earnest attempts, Mr. Franco can't bring the fervency of Crane's poetry to life in the extensive recitations.

It's a pensive and heartfelt movie, assuming that you let yourself get caught up in its moody-minimalist, more-visual-than-verbal style.
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

The Broken Tower feels unique as a young man's tribute to an adventuresome, doomed soul.
