Perhaps it's unfair of me to so dislike a film when I didn't see it through the whole 77 minutes to completion, but when technique so drastically overwhelms story, I really have a hard time sticking with it.
At any given time, anywhere from two to 20 scenes are on the screen, sometimes swirling around on the screen. Granted, this fragmentation is one way to show 15-year-old Tracey's (Ellen Page) schizophrenia and angst, but it was too distracting and annoying for me to follow whatever story may have been there.
Directed by Bruce McDonald, Based on a novel by Maureen Medved.
Run Time: 1 hour, 17 minutes
Rated R for strong language throughout, some sexual content and violence.
My personal rating: F
