Critics Consensus

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

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 Aug 7, 2009 Full Review Paul Schrodt Slant Magazine Less a movie than a sociology thesis. Rated: 1/4 Aug 4, 2009 Full Review 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. Rated: 1/5 Jul 31, 2009 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a watchable yet disappointing piece of work... Rated: 2.5/4 Jan 31, 2010 Full Review Ben Mankiewicz At the Movies The film is quite literally fragmented. Too much story -- and too little about each character. Aug 10, 2009 Full Review Ben Lyons At the Movies [A] well acted ensemble piece that I think you should see. Aug 10, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Mike J Sonic and king evil king lord evil evil king lord king of evil lord Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/28/22 Full Review georgan g The way the story unfolded was confusing, but an interesting plot. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review steve d Extremely dull despite the strong cast. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review michael w Strangely pointless. Just altogether pointless. I don't understand what the purpose of making that movie was, and I regret having watched it. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Frances H 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 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/14/16 Full Review Read all reviews
