      Jordan B This movie is terrible and anyone saying otherwise is being pretentious or just trying to go against the grain. How this is sitting at an 88% is insane. Worst best picture winner for 30 years. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/07/24 Full Review Narciso R WOW, pretty much throughout this movie. Fantastic cast, very believable characters. NRJ. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/04/24 Full Review ewan m Excellent film that stands the test of time Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/26/23 Full Review Argu M If you ask me about the best movies ever ... this will be on my short list. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/06/23 Full Review Eye C Well, I don't care about anything, this FOR ME works fine, it moves me and the message is loud and clear, but we still don't understand it, we prefer to attack and not to stop, LISTEN and change the way, because WE ALL THE HUMANS ARE THE SAME, AND ALL THE LIVING THINGS IN THIS PLANET ARE IMPORTANT. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/26/23 Full Review Max P A masterpiece! One of the most powerful films ever made. 10/10 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Jonathan Romney Independent on Sunday If there's anything worse than a film with no point, it's one that's all point and nothing but. Feb 28, 2018 Full Review Anthony Quinn Independent (UK) Instead of heartwarming messages about forgiveness, it honours ambiguity and brings us close, closer than is comfortable, in fact, to what Americans today are really thinking about one another. Feb 23, 2015 Full Review Stanley Kauffmann The New Republic [Crash] is familiar enough that it slips easily into our film-watching faculty without any fuss, yet [Haggis'] handling of it -- his muscular belief in what he is doing -- makes us hope that his next screenplay will be a bit less safe. Feb 23, 2015 Full Review Mark Johnson Awards Daily Crash is a bit too on the nose as it addresses racial tensions without much subtlety. The score, cinematography, and acting are all pretty outstanding, but it isn’t enough to save the tone-deaf Crash from feeling extremely contrived and overbearing. Jun 27, 2023 Full Review Cody Dericks Next Best Picture Hampered by unrealistic dialogue and unpleasant characters, it delivers its portrayal of a world that needs changing in the most aggressive and obvious way possible. Rated: 4/10 Jun 29, 2022 Full Review Joanne Laurier World Socialist Web Site The overall feeling is that the project is adamant about absolving the social system of blame.
