Crash IS that good!
This is the best film I’ve seen so far this year. Maybe this year and last. Any movie that has me crying, laughing, and shouting “Oh no! No! Fuck, fuck, no!” and “Shit! No, no, shit, no!” is a great movie. On pure emotional impact it’s superb, but it’s not just that. Smart script, smart [...]
