The winner of the Sundance Grand Jury Prize for Best Picture and winner of the Special Jury Prize for Best Actress (Felicity Jones) is the romantic drama Like Crazy. Paramount Vantage, which is distributing the film, has just released a new trailer and poster for the Sundance smash hit and, by god, does it look wonderful.
I’m not one for romantic dramas, especially ones that have the stereotypical indie feel to them but I immediately bought into this one. After hearing everyone rave about the film and then watching the trailer, there is no doubt in my mind that this could possibly be this year’s Oscars independent film of choice. Kind of like Winter’s Bone was last year.
The film, which was directed and co-written by Drake Doremus, stars Anton Yelchin (Fright Night), Felicity Jones (The Tempest), Jennifer Lawrence (Winter’s Bone), Charlie Bewley, Alex Kingston, Oliver Muirhead, Chris Messina, Finola Hughes, Ben York Jones, and Jamie Thomas King.

A love story is both a physical and emotional tale, one that can be deeply personal and heartbreaking for an audience to experience. Director Drake Doremus’ film Like Crazy beautifully illustrates how your first real love is as thrilling and blissful as it is devastating. When a British college student (Felicity Jones) falls for her American classmate (Anton Yelchin) they embark on a passionate an…d life-changing journey only to be separated when she violates the terms of her visa. Like Crazy explores how a couple faces the real challenges of being together and of being apart. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Best Picture at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and of the Special Jury Prize for Best Actress for Felicity Jones, Like Crazy depicts both the hopefulness and the heartbreak of love.
