Before I attempt at sharing with you my feelings towards and opinions of this film, I want to say that you must see it. You must see it yourself to form an accurate opinion as I do believe I have a bit of a bias. (In the way that I am too much of a hopeless romantic and can relate to the characters..) Also, see it because it is just too hard to explain the intensity and beauty without watching.
Anna, played by Felicity Jones, is such a charming, natural, makes-you-forget-your-watching-an-actress-type character. (Also, she won best actress in Sundance for her work in this film.) I adored her. Jacob, played by Anton Yelchin, is a shy, and sort of naive character. They meet in class, form a incredible, unique, undeniably perfect connection that certainly gets tested when Anna must return home to the UK. Their relationship starts and stops over the years, however the intensity and magnitude of their love keeps them from ever truly letting go of one another. In the end, you wonder if the pain they have gone through over the years will ruin the incredible relationship they can have when they finally get the chance.
The subtly and honestly of the Like Crazy was, in my eyes, perfect. The chemistry between the characters was so believable and the storyline, and dialogue so real. You will leave the movie deep in thought and in appreciation for this honest portrayal of young love tested by the inevitable happenings of life.
