Crash is a movie that can’t accurately be described. There is no start-middle-end like most movies. It’s an ensemble peice, and while this usually conjures up images of movies like Love Actually, where there’s a connection, however tenuous, between all the characters, in Crash there isn’t. Or, well, there is, but it’s a lot more co-incidental and in the moment.
Crash was the winner of the Best Picture Oscar this year, and despite all the claims that it wasn’t deserving of it, I’d say it ranks right up there. I haven’t seen any of the other movies that were nominated, but they’d have to do a hell of a job topping it. Go watch it, it’s on DVD right now. ★★★★☆
