Crash
Gail from Dublin, 30 May 2007
This is an entertianing and clever film, worth viewing and quite thought provoking. A series of events are cleverly linked to give insight into several lives over a twenty four hour period. i would recommend it.

One of my favourites.
Una from Dublin, 30 Jun 2007
Along the same lines as 13 Conversations About One Thing, but infinitely superior. Newton and Bullock really stand out as strong and terrified women, with the general deterioration of our society made glaringly obvious. Also, strangely, a window into how one person's pain in the butt is the next person's best friend. If you haven't watched it already, what are you waiting for?

Thought provocing and absorbing film. Deals with a difficult subject and as such can be overly bleak at times, however the moments of redemtion just about save it from being a misery fest. Recommended

award winner?
Jake from Dublin, 23 Aug 2007
I thought that this was a good movie, but I wasnt so sure that it was deserving of all of the awards that it won.

Excellent study of race relations
Brian from Mayo, 02 Oct 2007
This won a number of Oscars, and on watching I can see how. The script is excellent, and the performances from the ensemble cast match it. Sandra Bullock and Matt Dillon especially show they are capable of serious dramatic roles. There are a couple of well placed twists, but these add to, rather than subtract from the story. Overall an excellent film.

Reasonable good
Radu from Clare, 22 Jan 2008
I've seen better movies portraying interracial relationships mainly black vs. white. In an era of politically correctness this movie is considered a masterpiece due to the subject it tackles. Plot is wide and on different levels with no apparent connection. I was glad the movie didn't have a happy ending and ended after 113 minutes.

Absorbing
Ciaran from Dublin, 22 May 2007
Surprisingly won the Oscar which will hopefully drive more people to see this excellent drama. Several stories and characters inter-relate into a whole movie that is absorbing and suffers possibly from being too short. Other than that I have no complaints and this is an excellent drama that should be seen.

Racists are violent, film at 11
Adrian from Dublin, 10 Jan 2012
I think the intended purpose of this film is to demonstrate that racial violence and racial segregation feed each other in a negative feedback cycle that can destroy civilization. The film certainly illustrates it graphically. The lesson I took from it was "don't go to Los Angeles".
