Critic Reviews

  • Eric D. Snider, Film.com

    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.

  • Tom Long, Detroit News

    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.

  • Connie Ogle, Miami Herald

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

  • Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

    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.

  • Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic

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

    Like Crazy is a beautiful film with powerful, emotionally affecting performances from Felicity Jones and Anton Yelchin, as well as Jennifer Lawrence. The film's schmaltziness is familiar, and the plot would make it seem like we've seen it all before. There are also some… More

    A little too many pregnant pauses filled with subtext. They were cute kids, though

  • Manu G


    I want you - I need you - I love you - I miss you. Good movie! I really enjoyed it and although it was a little short for me it really deliver its purpose. This film was obviously made based on real experiences, and the filmmakers admitted that it was the combination of many of their… More
