The Tracey Fragments opens today to some mixed reviews. The film, starring Ellen Page, is shown almost entirely in split-screen frames.
From the Toronto Sun:
The Tracey Fragments is an interesting experiment. Just know going in that you have to be ready to engage in a way that’s quite different from passive moviegoing.
From Canada.com:
It’s built in layers: cool, intense, and somewhat distanced. The very technique that creates Tracey’s mind also keeps us from it, despite another intensely realized performance by Page (Hard Candy, X-Men 3), who finds the right mix of alienation and angry need.
