I think you owe me for deceiving me so exquisitely.

Wow. So, I just saw CRASH. Completely expecting to be blown away by it, I found myself instead wondering how come it's receiving so much acclaim. I found it pretty manipulative and heavy handed. It's completely devoid of subtlety... so basically I'm wondering one thing: What. The. Fuck?? Granted, there were some wonderful performances, Thandie Newton, Michael Peña, Don Cheadle, Terrence Howard... although Matt Dillon was alright, I don't get why he's the one getting all the acclaim. If the film had been receiving more nods for performances it would make a lot more sense to me, but as it stands, I am completely flabbergasted as to why it's getting all these awards. As much as I think BROKEBACK is overrated, I really think that it was a great film... not so much with this one. I can't believe I bumped CRIMES & MISDEMEANORS for this...
