Review of Crashing (2007) by Xuan P — 05 Mar 2009

Awesome movie about writing. At times it feels Allenesque -maybe even Bergmanesque (in a big stretch), in a good way, but then it sort of picks up it's own style and rhythm. It has its moments of inspired cleverness. The pace is nice, the performances are dead-on target (as usual with Campbell). But towards the end the whole thing feels more like it ran out of gas and it sort of dies down without much flare.

I think more could have been done with each of the characters, but that's just me dreaming up another movie. Still, this movie is quite fun, sort or original (if you decide to ignore the original sources of inspiration), and definitely worth watching.
