Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This movie has a plot that could be interesting but never really ties the plot points into the scenes. From the opening training montage on how to fall in love up until the 50 minute mark it was just moving on. Then it hits its first and only memorable scene.

This movie reminded me of "Two Lovers" played by Phoenix and Paltrow. They both rivetingly depicted young love with unforeseeable obstacles.It's hard to make memorable romantic movies nowadays. The most reason is taboos such as cast, race, wealth or even sexuality no longer carry stern impacts in our society. Without heart-wrenching hindrances, you cannot elevate the carnal desire to immaculate spirituality.Since there are little factors could stop young couple seeing each other now. The director used the bureaucracy as an impediment between Anna and Jacob I think is ingenious. The bureaucracy grounded their love and also made them realize how much they yearned for each other. It slowly revealed the struggles between their affections and realities. Even they were barely buried underneath both seemingly uneventful everyday lives. Once the solution presented to them, they made a run for it. No matter what the future will be held. At least, they did not forgo the belief of their love.

If you love romance movies, avoid this at all costs. From the opening scenes it is baffling that these two characters fell in love. Very few words are said, very few smiles (weak ones at that) are shared, and the two "lovers" barely touch each other. There is no reason presented to ever actually think that the two of them even like each other and it makes the rest of the movie drag on so badly its like being road hauled. The characters get together and break up for nearly unknown reasons because there isn't a scene in the movie longer than 8 seconds. The actors can barely think of things to say to each other, whether its close friends, lovers, coworkers, or parents. When they do speak for more than a single sentence, expect a smash cut or a montage. Dear god the montages! Is there a moment that requires emotion expressed through acting? Well instead you can watch the actors stand in various positions in a room and make mildly different faces with each still. The cinematography in this film is absolutely beautiful if you like being bludgeoned in the face by it. You would have an extremely hard time missing the message of "separation" that was forced into every scene involving the "lovers" and before they'd even been separated I was tired of it. By my honest estimation, you could watch the first 5-10 minutes of this film and then a clip of GOB from arrested development giving his classic line "I've made a huge mistake" and you will have gotten just as much out of this movie as if you'd spend the whole 89 minutes on it.

I don't know if I've got it right, but like crazy for me is the story of a love relationship that fades over time, as the space between them grows. Anna is a British student at LA when she meets Jacob. But due to a problem with her visa she is not allowed to enter America again. The two of them decide to keep in touch but for how long? The on and off of the relationship, the other lovers, the arguments, even the passionate love story, is a puzzle of how relationships work. Of course the ending, for me, spoils the whole movie. It is too "out of the blue" like when you expect something to happen and the movie just end with the credits starting to appear on the screen and you still look at them confused. What happened in the end? I don't know. Maybe everyone supposed to have their own version of the ending. And so I give like crazy a 4 out of 10.
