Crash (2005) - Patti
WOW! If you get a chance to see this movie before Oscar night, take it! This is a completely engrossing film about different people in Los Angeles. I could say "about different races in Los Angeles," but that seems to minimize the movie. It is so much more than just a "race" movie.
We meet a dozen or so characters whose lives will crisscross in some way. It is truly an ensemble film. I won't say much more about the plot, (I don't want to ruin the experience for you), other than it can get intricate at times. The story is multi-layered and the acting is exceptional. The scenes are funny one moment, then tense the next.
Without giving anything away, I have to tell you that the ending is powerful, thought-provoking, and above all...haunting. I wanted to watch it again the minute it ended. When was the last time you felt like that after a movie?
