Paul Haggis’s interwoven drama about race and prejudice in Los Angeles. A film that forces you to confront uncomfortable truths.
The structure is what makes it work. A dozen strangers’ lives keep colliding over a couple of days, and nobody is purely good or purely bad. The same person who says something ugly in one scene risks his life for a stranger in the next. It can feel a little heavy-handed at times, but a few of those collisions hit hard.
Recommended. 4/5 stars.
