tom2-854-225251 This movie has a plot that could be interesting but never really ties the plot points into the scenes. From the opening training montage on how to fall in love up until the 50 minute mark it was just moving on. Then it hits its first and only memorable scene.

sol- Banned from reentering the United States after overstaying her visa, a British student tries to sustain a long distance relationship with a young American in this drama starring Felicity Jones and Anton Yelchin. The film was a big hit when it opened at Sundance and many of its fans have been quick to point out how sharp an indictment the movie is of visitation and visa systems in certain countries. That said, it is often hard to feel for Jones and Yelchin's dilemmas since Jones always knew that she was overstaying her visa; she is therefore responsible for her own misery (any draconian rules and regulations are not to blame). The film has some incredibly nice touches though, no matter how one perceives the situation. In particular, the way we are just shown brief romantic snippets works well, capturing only the highlights of the relationship that the pair dwell on. This seems very much on point when one considers how much the long distance relationship tests the couple; as per the title, they fell crazily and madly in love, but was it enough to last? Interesting as this dynamic may be, it does little to render the characters particularly interesting beyond their impulsiveness. This is more a film to watch for its unflinching portrait of how tough visa restrictions are in some places; the characters are not dull, but their romance certainly takes a back seat to the problems it causes.

studioAT Like Crazy is an easy film to like. It has a simple story, and focuses on the concept of first love, which we can all relate to.Felicity Jones shines in her role, and it's no surprise that she's since gone onto bigger and better things. She handles a quirky script well and is far and away the best thing in this.But oh dear it drags, even with a short running time. Back and forth we go around the visa storyline, to the point where it becomes tedious. It's also difficult to empathise with the characters plight because they broke the rules in the first place.Overall, a decent film, but i'm not going to rush to see it again.

cheergal This movie reminded me of "Two Lovers" played by Phoenix and Paltrow. They both rivetingly depicted young love with unforeseeable obstacles.It's hard to make memorable romantic movies nowadays. The most reason is taboos such as cast, race, wealth or even sexuality no longer carry stern impacts in our society. Without heart-wrenching hindrances, you cannot elevate the carnal desire to immaculate spirituality.Since there are little factors could stop young couple seeing each other now. The director used the bureaucracy as an impediment between Anna and Jacob I think is ingenious. The bureaucracy grounded their love and also made them realize how much they yearned for each other. It slowly revealed the struggles between their affections and realities. Even they were barely buried underneath both seemingly uneventful everyday lives. Once the solution presented to them, they made a run for it. No matter what the future will be held. At least, they did not forgo the belief of their love.
