The Tracey Fragments Movie Review

I fell in love with Ellen Page when she starred in Candy as the insane teenager exploiting her sexuality for her own revenge. Then she did this film with little media-coverage, and then she played Juno.

I wonder if she’d go and take this roll back now that she knows what a huge success she’s destine to grow into?

It’s indie for the sake of being indie. See trailer below for example:

Don’t get the wrong idea. I liked the movie – overall. Stress overall. It took me a little time to get over the use of multiple frames, but once I did, I thought they worked very well with the film. Not so with the husband. He couldn’t stand the editing or the multiple camera angles.

For an overly indie, Canadian film done on a smaller budget, I think the movie delivered. The acting was sold, the script was well written, and the plot was thoroughly developed. I wouldn’t buy it and I won’t watch it again. But, if you’ve got Netflix it’s an instant watch and a good way to spend a sleepy morning.

Oh, and just in case you weren’t 100% sure that Ellen Page has “made it” as an actress…. She now has a plethora of fan-created music/photo montages on youtube, each a little creepier than the last.

*Title to this little internet gem? “Ellen Page- the Beautiful Canadien”
Yes, Canadian is spelled wrong… loser couldn’t even do a spell check before professing his love.
