The lead actor and real life singer/songwriter Greg Schroeder gives a realistic and touching portrayal as Wes Milligan, a down and out troubadour trying to realize his dream of being a well respected musician, but his personal troubles and own self doubt threaten to derail his hopes forever. It's a movie for all the dreamers out there that continue to create as they stare into the void of being forgotten by time, place and maybe even to those around them because they've no results to speak of.

Being almost the same person as Wes, I find this movie extremely touching, moving, and lovable. I personally, and I'm sure many songwriters, can relate to the story and can only hope to have that chance. It's slow, it's drama, but it's real.

Intriguing yet predictable and way too long; "This World Won't Break" tests your attention span and leaves you feeling drained.

In this drama, a broke-down middle aged Texas troubadour yearns to be remembered like the southern bluesmen before him, but his failings and self-doubt forestall his musical dreams.

A part of me is conflicted because "This World Won't Break" has a beautiful story surrounding it but it's muddled by a few moments of melodrama, as well as being 45 minutes too long. Another positive point about this indie is the soundtrack; it's bluesy, country and a highlight of the film. The performances are decent as well. Overall, worth a watch to take a break from worse films out there, but it will acquire some patience to get through.
