Summary: A Multi-picture Loser
Comment: I think the best description I've seen of this movie is that it is like trying to watch a movie in the pieces of a broken mirror. Neither my wife or I liked much about it. There is a lot of teen smoking, sex, violence and incessant use of the 'F-word.' The story of guilt by a sibling for the loss of a younger sibling could have been a great story. However the bad language and the 'cutsiness' of multiple, constantly changing pictures makes it not worth the effort. There are many, much better movies out there to waste one's time on this loser.

Summary: Excellent film, fantastic performance, wonderful editing
Comment: This is a brilliant film, visually captivating and with a magnificent performance from Ellen Page. Perhaps most interesting is how the mood of the film, helped tremendously by the lighting and color choices for the scenes, perfectly captures the feeling of being a teenager caught up in the intertwined mess of school bullying and family dysfunction, thrust into their own head to fantasize about a way out. Maybe it's too stark and bleak for some viewers. To express the trauma that Tracey is dealing with and reacting to, and how her mind is processing all of it and struggling to assert a self in the midst of it... to present this on screen with such raw feeling is a beautiful, albeit brutal, achievement. I feel very strongly that the artistic choices in how the film is presented, it's broken sense of chronology, the collage and fragmented visuals, the narrative slipping through different forms of memory and blurring between 'fact' and 'fiction', all of it brings the spectator into the psyche of our protagonist, to break down the third person perspective close to experience the story as it unfolds in the mind of Tracey. It probably succeeds as this more than any film I have seen. It is fantastically well done and very stunning.

Summary: What a WASTE of Ellen Page's talent and presence!
Comment: This movie was almost impossible to watch. The already mentioned "multiple split screens", which sometimes numbered around a DOZEN(!!!) make watching this teen angst drama like watching it in numerous rectangular pieces of broken mirror, each with a slightly different time code. ... Ugh!
Ellen Page was great in Juno, and she's at least as good here as the material will allow her to be. However, unless you are on LSD when you watch this movie, the format is likely to REALLY annoy and distract from Ellen's presence, the (deeply fragmented!) story line, and at least some of the scenes.
Art film on Crack, ... filmed in multiple cracks.
Don't waste your time on this one!

Summary: Ellen, what were you thinking?
Comment: Way too confusing a film. Stories of teen angst should not be so deep. Not one single frame shot in the whole film. Too much to follow. Excellent performance by Page as always but it was the wrong choice to do this film.

Summary: Ellen Page at her finest
Comment: This is one of Ellen Page's best performances. If you loved her in any movie, then you should definitely see this one! The truth she brings to the struggle of her character, along with the innovative techniques used to tell the story, make for a performance that leaves you speechless. This movie is like nothing you have seen before.
