I love Ellen Page, but I am not so sure that I love what Bruce McDonald has done with her here. It is a story about being a 15-year-old teenager named Tracey Berkowitz (Page): conflicting emotions and perceptions, a volatile compound of anger, vulnerability, curiosity, recklessness and fear. It is shot in a manner that may be unviewable for some: non-linear, fragmented scenes, and some really loud music.
Dysfunctional families, weird shrinks, mean-girls at school; it is really not so much about what is happening, but about Tracey's perception of events.
If you cant stand the ride, it is worth it. I mean, watching seven or eight fragments at a time is wild!
And, of course, Page is terrific.
