Even if it was the first film to use "Mondrian multi-frame compositions" from start to finish, this will only appeal to you if you're a) an angst-ridden 15 year old girl, b) an Ellen Page fan or relative, or c) a misled fan of "Juno" who thinks anything with Ellen is better than anything else.
The split screen (aka "Mondrian multi-frame compositions") is pretentious and ineffective except in a few selective sequences. It does work occasionally, but almost by accident -- I bet it even surprised the director when it did.
This is an art-film gone mad. Ellen is excellent playing a less-fun, and far less funny, version of Juno in a family-hell situation. Recommended if you are fighting insomnia, this is possibly the longest 77 minute film of all time.
