Chicago Reader
Compared with the novel, the movie might seem predictable. But compared with other movies, it stands alone. - 88
Chicago Sun-Times
Cronenberg has made a movie that is pornographic in form, but not in result. - 75
San Francisco Chronicle
I'm not quite sure what David Cronenberg is trying to say in Crash, but whatever it is, he deserves a lot of credit for having the nerve to put it on screen and face the consequences. - 70
Salon
The astonishing thing, however, is how pleasantly hypnotic the film is -- despite the fact that its subject is confined to peculiarly gruesome sex. - 60
The New York Times
The Crash characters sleepwalk through this story in a state of futuristic numbness, seeking extreme forms of sensation because familiar feelings have long since failed them. It's a chilling, ghastly possibility that manages to exert a grim fascination. - 60
Slate
For a filmmaker who in Videodrome and Dead Ringers so elegantly broached the unspeakable, Cronenberg has here made a picture that is all surface. - 50
ReelViews
Crash has a couple of concepts which are, admittedly, fascinating and original, but not a whole lot more. - 50
San Francisco Examiner
Cronenberg has said that he made the film to find out why he was making it. You may watch it for the same reason.
