Like Crazy (2011)
A film by Drake Doremus
Anna (Felicity Jones), an English college student at L.A., falls deeply in love with Jacob (Anton Yelchin). As she balances her time to finish school, she and Jacob also struggle to be together as they face the ups and downs of a long-distance relationship.
Like Crazy, winner of the 2011 Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize, was definitely worth seeing. With the vibe of independent cinema greatly present, it was not surprising that the narrative was simple and natural, but still fresh and entertaining. Doremus has successfully conveyed the pain of parting. Long shots, beautiful music, subjective realism and improvised dialogues. Likewise, Felicity Jones and Anton Yelchin's natural chemistry has further contributed to the film's rawness. It was simply lovely.
Meantime, here's another lovely song from the movies' original motion picture soundtrack.
