What people are saying
- Gimly★ 5/10
I was surprised by how much I didn't hate this honestly. Sarah Bolger was genuinely engaging which I did not expect to get out of something with a logline like the one Crush has. I think I'd have to re-watch it to make sure the third act really tracks. But even though I did enjoy it, I don't think I enjoyed it enough to re-watch it ever, let alone right away for the purposes of a single six-line Letterboxd review. Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.
