Like Crazy hits the screen

Fans are going "Like Crazy" for this new drama, which has just premiered at the Chicago International Film Festival on October 9. Tickets sold out quickly for the screening, which was attended by the stars and director/writer.

Like Crazy focuses on the romance between Jacob, an American teaching assistant (Anton Yelchin) and Anna, a British undergrad (Felicity Jones). They soon realize that Anna's student visa expires after graduation as well as the complications when Anna is deported. Directed by Drake Doremus, who also wrote the script and allowed the actors to improvise their dialogue, the film debuted at this year's Sundance, where it won the Grand Jury Prize for Drama. Jones also won a best actress prize.

"Like Crazy is an exquisite, beautifully acted gem of a film," praised film critic Andrew Barker . "It's one that should serve as a prelude to bigger things for Jones and Yelchin, as well as director Drake Doremus."
