Crash
Guy Lodge, the film critic for The Guardian, criticized Crash on the day it won the Oscar for best picture in 2006. He stated that the movie was a "well-acted but clod-footed treatise on race relations in Los Angeles." This movie was well-intentioned, but the melodramatic moments didn't hold themselves in reality with its stylized narrative.
Gravity
This 2013 space drama was visually stunning, engaging, and overwhelmingly beloved by critics and viewers alike. However, with all great art, there are flaws. Alan Evans wrote that the main character's "saccharine implausible backstory" was the reason that Gravity fell flat for him. He stated that the filmmaking was great, but the characters themselves lacked depth and were, quite frankly, boring.
