Entertainment Weekly -
Crossing Over is so eager to go for the emotional jugular that it never quite forges an enlightening point of view.

ReelViews -
Enough things in Crossing Over work to keep the film from becoming a bore, but this is a definite step down from Kramer's past efforts, "The Cooler" and "Running Scared."

New York Daily News -
Writer-director Wayne Kramer adds what could be called mainstream threads to his messy script, but the result is simplistic across the board.

New York Magazine (Vulture) -
There are a bunch of other clunky immigrant subplots (the Jews get a comic one, the Turks a scary one), but it isn't until the massacre–cum–civics tutorial in the liquor store that Crossing Over crosses into the mythic realm of camp. What a waste. I still say it's better than "Crash," though.

The Hollywood Reporter -
The film plays like a garish melodrama that reproduces the most ham-fisted, polemical aspects of "Crash."

In Crossing Over, writer-director Wayne Kramer explores the allure of the American dream, and the reality that immigrants find – and create -- in 21st century L.A.
