Fragmentary

About This Movie

Fragmentary is one of those films that really plays with the idea of grief and alternate realities in a way that feels raw. Ben Sanderson, the lead, is this deeply troubled character, and the way he navigates his alcoholism as a means to connect with his lost love is intriguing. There's a gritty realism to the atmosphere, with practical effects that ground the sci-fi elements—nothing flashy, but effective. The pacing can be a bit uneven at times, but it builds this tension that keeps you guessing. You can feel the weight of his pain, and as new threats emerge, it adds this layer of urgency. It’s definitely a unique entry in the genre, capturing that struggle between reality and desire.
