Like Crazy image


Like Crazy has a 73% "certified fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes; the consensus states "It has the schmaltzy trappings of many romantic films, but Like Crazy allows its characters to express themselves beyond dialogue, crafting a true, intimate study."[10] The film was The Christian Science Monitor's third best film of 2011.[11]
Upon the film's January 2012 release in the UK, Philip French described it as "likable, lightweight, bittersweet" and a "less knowingly smart, less entertaining conflation of Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, stretched out over four or five years."[12] According to Robbie Collin, "Like Crazy is a well-acted and obviously heartfelt film, and at times it's also a wispily beautiful one. Unfortunately, any attempt to appreciate its not insignificant charms is hindered by an overpowering desire to grab the main characters by the shoulders and give them a good shake....Doremus has clearly fallen head over heels for the techniques of the French New Wave, but it’s less of a romance than an infatuation. He mimics the handheld camerawork and improvised dialogue of Godard’s Breathless et al—except, 50 years on, those techniques have a very different effect, perversely making the film feel more premeditated, less immediate."
