Doremus' elegant filmmaking is key to the appeal of the film, but it would never work as superbly without the wonderfully natural, believable performances and powerful chemistry of the lead actors.

A semi-improvised, microbudget marvel with a range of feeling that shames most big-budget star-driven movies.

The actors keep their clothes on, but everything else is naked in Like Crazy, a romantic drama that makes other romantic films look obvious and calculated in comparison.

Like Crazy tells the truth, simply: Love is thrilling. And - just because of the way life happens - sometimes love hurts.

An exquisite, beautifully acted gem of a film, one that should serve as a prelude to bigger things for stars Felicity Jones and Anton Yelchin, as well as director Drake Doremus.

Jones is a marvel. Sundance couldn't get enough of her. You won't, either. Her performance grabs hold and won't let go.

A beautifully realized drama that gets to the essence of what it's like to be young, confused and in love.

In Sundance terms, Like Crazy qualifies as this year's "Blue Valentine," but it's more observational about the details of a doomed relationship than relentlessly bleak like the aforementioned Derek Cianfrance movie.

There's plenty of freshness and skill here, both in front of the camera and behind it.

Like Crazy proves it's still possible to make a love story that's both genuinely sweet and bittersweet.
