July 12, 2009Ellen Page's best performance in a greatly-directed movie with phenomenal screenplay and concept. Other than that, the movie is tiring, unreal, idiotic, the characters are obnoxious, at times it doesn't make sense, it's nausea-causing. Because it lacked everything, they thought t...( read more)

June 14, 2009This is the last time I watch a film with the word 'fragments' in the title. There are actually two things that frustrate me about this film. I guess I am not avant garde enough to enjoy the fragments of film we see and then there is the fact that this is a story of the underbe...( read more)

April 18, 2009Not so much a film as an exercise in editing. It's got style and a distinct look but it's all too much.

February 6, 2010The first time I watched this film, I couldn't get past 10 minutes of it. I felt that it was too chaotic and, well, fragmented.

December 27, 2009Interesting and great Ellen Page but the plot is a little disappointing for the complexity of the movie'style.

December 26, 2009A great coming-of-age story turned into a masterpiece by its brilliant editing. After all, everything we are eventually left with are tiny fragments which have somehow established an entire existence, and I loved the concept of it being taken to motion picture. And of course, as ...( read more)

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
Viewed as the sum of its sad incidents, The Tracey Fragments seems like the kind of adolescent melodrama that has become a staple of young-adult literature. full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
Director Bruce McDonald splits his screen eight ways to Sunday in The Tracey Fragments, a splintered form ostensibly intended to match the psyche of his protagonist. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
By the time The Tracey Fragments fills in its last dark fragments, they don't have the emotional impact they probably should have. full review

I thought that it would be good because it had Ellen Page in it,I was wrong. The way the movie was shot is just way to hard to pay attention to the story line!!!
