It takes a lot for me to (1) stop working (2) watch a film and (3) to really be impressed given my cynicism but wow, did Crash do all that for me. Everything about the film was just so damn good, nothing jarred, nothing in it was wasted time, everything counted and it all knitted together into a film that is easily one the best I have ever seen. I know I could have made this discovery at any time in the last three years but damn, it was worth the wait.
