I still think this needed more sex and violent car crashes. Cronenberg is such a prude.

KarstenDec 30, 2020Whether it's the "best" or your "favorite" Cronenberg film s one thing, but this has to be the purest encapsulation of his strengths as a filmmaker. This thing feels like it was cut out of sheet metal and fiberglass, pristine yet lifeless, its body horror presented as…

this is one of the weirdest movies i have ever seen. there’s definitely something deeper to it psychologically, but i don’t think the film did a good job of actually delving into it. the best part of the movie was the soundtrack. to be honest, the film was interesting, but just really weird. i…

The only good part of the movie was the James Dean story

Ellis lovedCrashElias Koteas speaks and plays Vaughn so gently (aside from a few moments), which didn’t even really register to me the first time I watched this. I feel like in the book I imagine him a lot more abrasive, but I enjoy both. It just makes me wonder like why he made that choice for Vaughn. Like was he…

Looking for something that is pure moody and tone with little plot but will stay with you for a long time? Here’s “Crash.” What else can you expect from a Cronenberg/Spader collaboration? You’ll feel gross, but I dare you to look away.

slicies is "meh" onCrashautant se rentrer un cure-dent dans les yeux que perdre 1h40 de sa vie à regarder un pseudo porno de gens qui grosso merdo veulent bai$er en mourant. mais cool je l’aurais vu

Metacritic
Crash is still creepy, still menacing, still hypnotic, and it is still dedicated, in its freaky way, to the ideal of eroticism, to just drifting from erotic scene to erotic scene without much need for story. But Crash is no longer so contemporary. [4K re-release]
Peter Bradshaw
The Guardian
Compared with the novel, the movie might seem predictable. But compared with other movies, it stands alone.
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Chicago Reader
Crash has a couple of concepts which are, admittedly, fascinating and original, but not a whole lot more.
