Certainly a comedic role

I want to eat her fuzzy apricot face.

]]> <![CDATA[Ellen Page's Leading Roles Finally Pull Even With Dumped Films From '07]]> I saw The Tracey Fragments a few months ago. Didn't like it.

The movie isn't just "split-screen", it's "fragmented-screen", with an ever-changing mosaic of multiple shots. I'd heard about it before and (naturally) assumed Bruce MacDonald (famous hash-rock-buying Canadian director) was going to only do it, you know for effect. No. He does it the whole fucking time.

Plus the narrative itself is fractured, mixed up, told out of order, to keep us interested right to the end in that now familiar how-did-this-all-get-started sort of way. The acid test for a fractured narrative like that is to ask: is it still interesting if you tell the story straight? Does it still fill the ninety minutes (without incessant repetition of story points)? Do you still care at all? The Tracey Fragments fails.

And with all the random split-screen, it's actually hard to tell if Ellen Page is any good in it, at all.

I really hope a lot of people see them because then the "Juno stereotype" will go away.

Those two films along with Hard Candy, Mouth to Mouth and, what I'm sure will be an awesome performance in Peacock, really show her range. Ellen actually plays against her type in Juno (it's pretty much her only comedic role).

Just reading the story induces nausea ... not sure who exactly thought it would be a great idea to bring mutilation! and child abuse! and starvation! to the big screen.
