Critic Reviews

The couple's story is related through small, true-to-life details that paint an unidealized portrait of love - the euphoria, the sadness, and everything in between.

-Eric D. SniderFull Review

It's imperative for director and co-writer Drake Doremus to color the film with a great deal of blossoming-love sparkle right off the bat, and he does just that.

-Tom LongFull Review

It's not exactly Casablanca, but times have changed.

-Connie OgleFull Review

Felicity Jones will break your heart at least once in "Like Crazy."

-Roger MooreFull Review

In the end it's the fun movie it's supposed to be. Raise your cosmos in a modest toast.

-Tom LongFull Review

While the film is often quite moving, it's also at times frustrating; people in love, we realize, aren't always as fascinating to the rest of us as they are to each other.

-Moira MacDonaldFull Review

What could have come off as stilted and artificial is instead genuine and natural.

-Bill GoodykoontzFull Review

The cast creates such a naturalistic sense of empathy -- a complicity, even -- with the viewers that we're swept up into their characters' lives.

-Colin CovertFull Review

Belying its title, Like Crazy is a film not about the ferocity of love, but about its fragility.

-Christopher OrrFull Review

Call it l'amour phooey.

-Rick GroenFull Review

A serious, deeply felt romance for an audience Hollywood most often bombards with raunchy sex comedies and video-game adaptations.

-Ann HornadayFull Review

Those seeking a fresh take on romance will find Like Crazy almost existentially tepid.

-Bruce DemaraFull Review

A romantic drama that makes other romantic films look obvious and calculated in comparison.

-Mick LaSalleFull Review

Attention must be paid, even if you occasionally want to throw pots at the screen.

-Ty BurrFull Review

Although Like Crazy contains some emotionally on-target scenes, the movie as a whole feels glum and artificial.

-James BerardinelliFull Review

This indie drama starts off as a sexy little date movie, but once the lovers have been separated it grows steadily more complicated and mature.

-J. R. JonesFull Review

The reason to see it co-stars with Anton Yelchin, around whom the project got going. Her name is Felicity Jones.

-Michael PhillipsFull Review

It's not a clunky rom-com; it's sweeter and more intimate.

-Roger EbertFull Review

Like a plastic surgeon, storyteller King keeps trying to find new ways to lift and tighten his characters, but they have become garish caricatures of themselves.

-Tom MaurstadFull Review

The emotional honesty of Like Crazy, which is comparable to Richard Linklater's great Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, is far removed from most of what passes in these goony movie days as youthful romance.

-Peter RainerFull Review

It's just the small story of two young people trying hard to decide whether this is an infatuation worth growing past, or a real relationship worth growing into.

-Stephen WhittyFull Review

We get that Anna and Jacob care for each other, but the foundation for their devotion often feels insubstantial if not imaginary.

-Sara StewartFull Review

When Carrie asks Big, "Am I just a bitch wife who nags you?" I could hear all the straight men in the theater -- all four of us -- being physically prevented from responding.

-Andrew O'HehirFull Review

Doremus has crafted an intelligent and evocative story driven by two expert leads. I liked it very much. I just wish I could say I was crazy about it.

-Elizabeth WeitzmanFull Review

There's not an extraneous scene, and even the smallest moments - such as when Jacob goes to a London pub with Anna and stands around awkwardly - are ripe with meaning.

-Mary F. PolsFull Review

Deserved winner of the grand jury prize at Sundance, this story is as simple as two people mad about each other and as complex as intense relationships inevitably get.

-Kenneth TuranFull Review

Drake Doremus has crafted a crazily inventive and totally irresistible tale of first love that makes the familiar seem bittersweet and heart-stoppingly new.

-Peter TraversFull Review

Largely a conventional, wan affair, despite its art-cinema flourishes, like scenes that start and end in medias res.

-Manohla DargisFull Review

Seriously, I liked this movie better last year, when it had Drew Barrymore in it and was called "Going the Distance."

-Andrew O'HehirFull Review

The music of Paul Simon's "Graceland" flows through "Like Crazy," and comments on it as well. This wise and beautiful little film is about two lovers falling from a state of grace.
