Critic Reviews

  • Ben Mankiewicz, At the Movies

    The film is quite literally fragmented. Too much story -- and too little about each character.

  • Ben Lyons, At the Movies

    [A] well acted ensemble piece that I think you should see.

  • Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times

    The grand statement it wants to make plays shallow instead of deep, leaving the film too weak-kneed to carry the weight of its broken world.

  • Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

    Fragments is both deeply self-serious and essentially meaningless, the sort of we're-all-connected tragedy in which birds fly free while humans remain stuck in place.

  • Manohla Dargis, New York Times

    The casting directors of Fragments deserve credit for assembling so much talent in one modest movie; if only Rowan Woods, the director, knew what to do with them.

    Good ensemble drama like <i>Babel</i>, <i>Magnolia</i> and <i>Traffic</i> with the terrific ensemble cast. Many of these actors provide performances that prove they have more potential than I had previously thought. The film is about numerous… More

    Really well done - it shows a group of people who are caught up in a shooting at a cafe and how each deals with it. Obviously not a feel good movie, but good. The whole cast are excellent.
