I hated this movie. I really did.

This audacious puzzlement is worth seeing, I guess, for some startling and innovative visual designs. But it doesn’t amount to anything more substantial than a technical tour de force.

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.

I have a feeling that this is the last time we'll see a down-and-dirty Ellen Page.

The Tracey Fragments is a grating stunt that plays like a film-school project, cutting a bland story into a million tiny irritating pieces.

Unlike the frustrating gimmickry of Mike Figgis's Timecode and Hotel, McDonald's bedazzling multi-frame experiment poeticizes and enhances an otherwise slender story (forgivable at only 77 minutes long)...

Ellen Page remains one of the few stellar newcomers who deserves to be seen in anything she chooses to do.

This is a tough watch, but a rewarding one for those open to experimentation.

By the time The Tracey Fragments fills in its last dark fragments, they don't have the emotional impact they probably should have.
