Critics Consensus

Sensitive but not insightful, Fragments pieces an ensemble together in the same way Crash did but without the gravitas.

Strangely pointless. Just altogether pointless. I don't understand what the purpose of making that movie was, and I regret having watched it.

150808: Tough film to watch at times. Impactful yet weak components if placed under scrutiny. Gave me a lot to think about in some ways and annoyed me in others. I guess that is what it was meant to do.

Good, well-acted film with a great cast, but somehow I doubt that all the people who witnessed such an event would have such extreme reactions

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

[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.

Rated: 2/5

Tolucan Times

A well-directed tense drama with a terrific cast, it is an old-fashioned, no-nonsense film with no special effects that relies on acting and script.

Rated: 7/10

Even as it makes a show of complexity Fragments seems determined to pull together its various story strands.
