The best part of "The Broken Shore" was the deadpan, wry humor of the local sheriff, "Sleepy" Joe Cashin. His banter with the hard-nosed attorney Helen was engaging, despite the fact that their romance seemed improbable.
On the downside, the narrative was exceedingly grim with systemic racism that blames the innocent aboriginal locals for a murder they did not commit.
The truth about the murder and the victim exposed the sad underbelly of the community that included monsters exploiting young boys.
Despite the natural beauty and the interesting locations, the film was depressing and unpleasant. This "shore" was indeed broken.
