Rotten
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.
Ben Lyons, At the Movies
Rotten
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.
Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
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.
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
Rotten
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.
