About This Movie

So, 'Crashing' (2023) is kind of an interesting blend of comedy, drama, and romance. You know how these dating shows can be? It takes that familiar setup and flips it on its head after a plane crash. The whole atmosphere is pretty intimate, as you watch Jess and Matty navigate their feelings during what they know could be their last night. The pacing feels deliberate, almost like a slow burn, which adds tension and depth. There’s definitely a focus on practical effects in the crash sequences, which is refreshing. The performances have this rawness to them, making their connection feel real and relatable. It’s distinctive in how it captures the absurdity of reality TV while grounding it in genuine emotion.
