Roger Ebert Deeply Loved What Many Consider To Be the Worst Movie To Win the Oscar for Best Picture
Paul Haggis' Crash may be polarizing today, but it impressed many at the time of its release, including Roger Ebert.
Upon its arrival in theatres during the spring of 2005, Paul Haggis’ Crash earned astounding acclaim from the likes of legendary critic Roger Ebert. As one of the drama’s strongest supporters, Ebert cited its ambitious approach in taking interconnected characters, sharing insights about their unpredictable behavior on and off the street, and making the audience feel sympathy regardless of their background and beliefs.
