Here's Geek Tyrant's Review on the film:
Like Crazy is a love letter to long distance relationships, a more realistic version of Going the Distance for a slightly younger crowd. Show me this movie a year ago, and I guarantee I wouldn't have connected with it as much as I did now, and that's because I'm going through something similar in my own life. This movie is deeply personal: if you've ever had an intense relationship torn apart by distance, it's impossible not to relate to it; if you've never experienced something like that, it will likely leave you cynical and put off.
It's pure in its emotions and technically proficient in translating them to the big screen. The cinematography was gorgeous, the score was moving, and the writing was spectacular.
Plot:
A love story is both a physical and emotional tale, one that can be deeply personal and heartbreaking for an audience to experience. Director Drake Doremus' film Like Crazy beautifully illustrates how your first real love is as thrilling and blissful as it is devastating. When a British college student (Felicity Jones) falls for her American classmate (Anton Yelchin) they embark on a passionate and life-changing journey only to be separated when she violates the terms of her visa.Like Crazy explores how a couple faces the real challenges of being together and of being apart. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Best Picture at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and of the Special Jury Prize for Best Actress for Felicity Jones, Like Crazydepicts both the hopefulness and the heartbreak of love.
Like Crazy arrives in theaters on October 28, 2012.
