- 91Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumEntertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumLike Crazy tells the truth, simply: Love is thrilling. And - just because of the way life happens - sometimes love hurts.
- 90VarietyAndrew BarkerVarietyAndrew BarkerAn 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.
- 80Time OutDavid FearTime OutDavid FearLike Crazy proves it's still possible to make a love story that's both genuinely sweet and bittersweet.
- 75Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyPhiladelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyYelchin and Jones are up to the challenge of suggesting much by doing little.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeDeeply felt first-love tale offers convincing performances and a fine-tuned storytelling sensibility.
- 70New York Magazine (Vulture)David EdelsteinNew York Magazine (Vulture)David EdelsteinLike Crazy has a lively syntax and could, in an ungrateful mood, be tagged as slick. But Doremus gets the tempos right.
- 50Village VoiceNick PinkertonVillage VoiceNick PinkertonThe idea is to show love in incidentals rather than big scenes, but the fragments selected do not build to any significance - this is a rote story, arbitrarily scattered into abstraction.
- 30Boxoffice MagazineRay GreeneBoxoffice MagazineRay GreeneA surprising follow-up to Doremus' low-fi but equally concept-driven 2010 Sundance feature "Douchebag," Like Crazy has appealing performances, a notable tone of realism in the acting and so many borrowed mannerisms from better or more interesting films it feels like a YouTube mash-up made by a Wes Anderson junkie who's studying Sophia Coppola movies while writing a term paper on "Garden State."
