So I'm checking out some other reviews, and I keep seeing the same basic message, which is along the lines of "complex" and "intricately woven". Really? I don't think it was all that complex if you simply pay attention to the story and to the details. It's just a well thought out story with some great actors in it. In my opinion, this is a MUCH better film than "Crash" in all aspects, as I thoroughly enjoyed this film, while I thought "Crash" was amateurish and the dialogue unrealistic. Watch it with NO INTERRUPTIONS or DISTRACTIONS and I think you'll find it's a fine story (albeit a rather depressing one).
