Crash (2004)

An attempt by director Paul Haggis to make a multi-layered, interconnected narrative with a general theme about racism. It partially succeeds. 

The ensemble cast’s acting is strong (notably Sandra Bullock and Matt Dillon), and the weaving together of threads is expertly handled. What spoils the film is the very intrusive, jarring music that just doesn’t suit the scenes it soundtracks. Also, the visuals seem over-filtered.
