Reviews for Crash
Crash is, easily, one of the strongest American films in years. When it was over, I sat in my chair, shell-shocked in stunned silence, trying to sort out my tangled emotions.

The overall impression is vividly complex and provocative in the best sense.

Don't let yourself get carried away by the raves: Crash is solid but no masterpiece.
07/30/07
a searingly powerful, at times transcendent, examination of a nation's culture, alienated from, and afraid of, itself.
07/03/07
A film teeming with solemn recognition of the nasty complexities of living in a multicultural society, and much of what remains unspoken racially in America being neatly shoved under a complacent rug.
05/22/07
For a violent film, it is inordinately humane and refreshingly unpredictable.
03/01/07
This articulate and particularly poignant mood piece demands nothing of its audience, except for some brutally honest introspection about our unquestioned presumptions about the human condition. Easily, the best film of 2005.

a corny Hollywood attempt at a social problem drama, well acted enough to recommend
08/20/06
Stereotypes had painfully little to the discourse of American prejudice.

Haggis nos muestra en forma inteligente una perspectiva íntima de la personalidad de cada individuo, luego la percepción de los demás y finalmente la compleja realidad.
05/02/06
Filters every scene… through the prism of race, but keeps turning the prism around and around until the colors no longer matter and we see only what the characters do.
04/12/06
Obnoxious, hollow, and not at all as smart or important as it thinks it is.
03/04/06
Film constructed of wild coincidences. A throwback to stodgy liberal melodrama of the 1960s like "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner". Says zero about the social and economic realities of LA that breed racism.
02/04/06
The problem with the movie is that it is so brash and transparent in its attempt to spotlight and expose every single conceivable racial divide and stereotype, it loses all credibility and can't be but gawked at.
01/04/06
Haggis and savvy editor Hughes Winborne manage to pull all of these threads together and weave an engaging look at the abhorrent state of racism ... in our major cities.
