"Like Crazy" starts out strongly. Fresh young love, imbibed with an
earthy, quiet spontaneity. The 2 leads actors have a playful, heartfelt
energy between them. Yelchin (Jacob) and Jones (Anna) were finely cast,
as were Alex Kingston and Oliver Muirhead, as the parents of Anna.
Several scenes were familiar territory to me, even offering a few gentle
reminders about the fragile nature of romantic dreams.
Kudos to the production design and costuming people, who were willing to
let the actors shine. The scenes were rendered with comforting
modernity, without trying too hard. It's refreshing to see a creative
team who are not compelled to be edgy or trendy.
The push-pull dynamic of long-distance relationships is revealed quite
well in this story. Having said that, the core energy and rhythm seemed
to dissipate after a while, and I felt like the movie lost its bearings.
This film could have benefited from a tighter edit. In a way, the
director may have intended for the audience to feel a bit haggard at
various points. The romantic part of me wanted some reassuring escapism
in the final scene. Instead, we are left to grapple with the evidence of
awkwardness, which some of us are all too familiar with.
