The film is quite literally fragmented. Too much story -- and too little about each character.

Top Critic[A] well acted ensemble piece that I think you should see.
08/10/09
Top CriticThe grand statement it wants to make plays shallow instead of deep, leaving the film too weak-kneed to carry the weight of its broken world.
08/07/09
Top CriticFragments is both deeply self-serious and essentially meaningless, the sort of we're-all-connected tragedy in which birds fly free while humans remain stuck in place.
07/31/09
Top CriticThe casting directors of Fragments deserve credit for assembling so much talent in one modest movie; if only Rowan Woods, the director, knew what to do with them.

Top CriticThe hell that Paul Haggis hath wrought grows exponentially by the day.

Top CriticThe pace is too languid to sustain much viewer concentration, and whatever the characters go through seems only peripherally connected to the shooting in the diner. Close, but no cigar.
