[A] necessarily disturbing and equally profound inquiry into human desire, however self-destructive.July 30, 2007
Crash is a mutant work of art -- a bracing splash of ice water.June 24, 2006
It's a dark, disturbing, languorous movie, as ludicrous, hermetic and repetitive, perhaps, as Ballard's original, but admirably assured and true to itself.July 05, 2005
It's the cold survival logic of Darwin, where libertarians leave their past behind as if it were dead.January 22, 2002
"Crash" doesn't extend beyond its most immediate sensationalism. When the movie does attempt to find a theme, it slams into a brick wall of mumbo-jumbo.September 09, 2008
While the director remains firmly behind the wheel for the first hour or so, he cracks up toward the end with sequences that send the film and the audience into a ditch.February 14, 2001
So far from being involving or compelling, so intentionally disconnected from any kind of recognizable emotion, that by comparison David Lynch's removed "Lost Highway" plays like "Lassie Come Home."May 20, 2003
Mr. Cronenberg, for once oddly inhibited by brazen subject matter, has made a meticulously stylized and controlled film that leaves many of its characters' ideas muffled and lacks the true audacity its material demands.September 01, 2009
With Crash, David Cronenberg drives mainstream cinema over the edge.October 29, 2003
A stylish, intriguing and typically warped vision that hybridises the imaginations of Ballard and Cronenberg.April 04, 2011
For a movie obsessed with the connection between sexual intercourse and car accidents, David Cronenberg's Crash could hardly be more stationary.February 09, 2006
Wildly unwatchable, as if someone had made Andy Warhol's Frankenstein without being in on the joke.
