Indies to Watch For in 2011: Like Crazy



"Like Crazy" won the Grand Jury prize at Sundance this year and was quickly picked up by Paramount for distribution.  It's about two college students, one American (Anton Yelchin) and the other British (Felicity Jones), who meet in Los Angeles and fall in love.  Over the course of eight years they must learn to cope with the difficulty of being in a long distance relationship, and all the bittersweet aspects of first loves.  Although I haven't seen it yet, I would liken it to last year's "Blue Valentine."  "Like Crazy" comes out on Friday, October 28.
