A Masterpiece of Emotion

Rating: 10/10 (24 June 2005)

There are a ton of things that are wrong with this movie. And none of them matter. That is, they matter if the movie doesn't touch you. "Crash" represents a very specific kind of film. One that works only on an emotional level. If the characters presented in this drama don't reach you, if logic, certain character developments or realism is your concern than don't go see it. If your view of watching a movie is rational, and via rational feel something than that's one way. "Crash" is an impressionistic masterpiece. It is an emotionally accurate portrayal of humanity, not a logical one. I guess that's why there is a such a debate on the user comments section of the IMDb. What to say, yes I think it's one the best American movies of the last few years. Is it the most real, I don't know, I don't live in the States, but for my sensitivities it certainly felt that way.
And sometimes that's all it takes.
