The Tracey Fragments

I'm not surprised that this film brings the controversial opinions and critics about itself. And I'm not sure what a director of "The Tracey Fragments" exactly wanted to tell us, because in art, sometimes, the spectators are also creators of a whole picture or idea of an art piece. This is the case... So it's my personal analysis and messages I've got. The movie doesn't have a structure in a normal usual sense, you have the choices: to what you give your attention and in which way or ways the story will open itself to you. You have a mixup of two perspectives of view: Tracey's and your own. Actually, we inside Tracey's mind. The picture isn't truly cinematographic, but very artistic and realistic, there wasn't much of special effects, only the view that could be captured by eyes. I've experienced the hurricane that a "normal teenage girl" have in her brain during a hard period of life. It was intuitive, naive, delusional and almost insane. You can't be focused on something, you don't have a main line, no one gives you the conclusions, you don't have any issues, you are just fourteen and you want to be loved, you need someone with unconditional loyalty to you, at least "bark, BARK". Your romantic illusions was crashed. Wait. You'll be abused, you'll be treated like a trash... No doubt you will. But you must to keep going to get through... Just keep going, no matter what. And yes, now you know: you can make a film even only with your phone. A big maximum is a drone for the expositions. For me, the tools used by Bruce McDonald have worked. 10 points from 10

This movie was clearly just the work of a director who thought he was better then he really is. The editing was just annoying, trying to be artsy and new but just ended up giving me a headache. Ellen Page is a far better actress then tis movie makes her out to be and I feel that again that falls on the director. If I hadn't seen other works by Ellen Page I would have put this on her. The fragmented scenes and the choppy story-line where clever at first but quickly made the movie confusing and weird. There were also a bunch of scenes that were not needed in the least and where obviously there for nothing more then padding. Please read some of my other reviews at ****/
