Not Worthy Of Winning "Best Picture"

Rating: 6/10 (1 December 2013)

Out of all the films that didn't deserve to win the title of Best Picture at the Academy Awards, Crash takes the cake for being the most undeserving.
I admired how ambitious it was and the performances are fantastic, but it's so melodramatic that it becomes hard to take serious and at times just frustrating to watch. The subject matter here is interesting, but it's handled in such a preachy and pretentious way. To make matters worse, the film doesn't really go anywhere by the end of it's nearly 2 hour runtime and ultimately feels rather pointless.
It's worth a watch alone for the performances, but how this won (let alone nominated) an Academy Award for Best Picture is beyond me.
