Starring the wonderful Ellen Page, The Tracey Fragments is a compelling and occasionally heart-wrenching Canadian drama presented in a technically interesting fashion.
Directed by Bruce McDonald, with a screenplay written by Maureen Medved based on her stream-of-consciousness novel, the film sporadically uses multi-boxed techniques to show a multitude of teenager Tracey’s thoughts and memories simultaneously on-screen. The effect is highly interesting and in no way hinders the storyline, as may be expected.
We highly recommend this original film.

Never heard of this film, but will need to give it a watch
Builds to an absolutely gut wrenching ending. It featured at Rev a few years ago.
sounds interesting
I was going to watch this film, but after seeing a clip, I though it’ll give me a headache from all the boxes! I might give it a watch sometime.
