"A stunning peek into the racial melting pot that is LA"
5 stars"

Crash takes a hard look at the unspoken racial barrier between people from all walks of life, and what happens when these lives meet.

Outstanding performances by Thandie Newton, Ludacris, Ryan Phillipe, and Don Cheadle (just to name a few), a stunning soundtrack, and a hard hitting story line, Crash shows the breakdown of society, due to poverty, racism, language barriers, and stereotyping.

A moving, raw, touching piece of film making. A must see

"Thought provoking."
5 stars"

Excellent movie – definitely one for the collection.

Crash reminds us all of the delicate social balance between people of different race, culture and class. From the racist cop to the persian dairy owner mistaken for an Iranian following 9/11 this movie explores many different ‘stereotypes’ and concentrates on how they intertwine.

Description

Crash

Writer-director Paul Haggis interweaves several connected stories about race, class, family and gender in Los Angeles in the aftermath of 9/11. Characters include a district attorney (Brendan Fraser) and his casually prejudiced wife (Sandra Bullock), dating police detectives Graham (Don Cheadle) and Ria (Jennifer Esposito), a victimized Middle Eastern store owner and a wealthy African-American couple (Terrence Dashon Howard, Thandie Newton) humiliated by a racist traffic cop (Matt Dillon).

Critic Reviews:

  • " 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. " – Anthony Quinn
  • " Crash is a very watchable and well-constructed piece of work, and a potential script masterclass: but its daringly supercharged fantasies of racial paranoia and humanist redemption are not to be taken too seriously " – Peter Bradshaw
  • " The script is clever, the racial theme is worthy of Newsnight, and the editing just sublime. " – James Christopher
