The heartbreaking trailer for Like Crazy (2011) shows the difficulty of long-distance relationships

Not everyone has praised the 2011 Sundance Film Festival’s Grand Jury Prize (dramatic) and Special Jury Prize (acting) winner, but the first two previews for Like Crazy (2011) (the second of which is posted here) appear heartbreakingly beautiful.  Anyone who has struggled through a long-distance relationship ought to relate, and Felicity Jones’s performance has many people buzzing with admiration.  The film makes a decently high-ranking appearance on my Most Anticipated Films list.  The preview and premise has this independent romantic drama looking like a tear-jerking, poignant love-story.

While in America for her education, British student Anna falls in love with Jacob and decides to overstay her visa to remain with him for a while.  However, once she tries to return to the U.K., she learns that she has been banned from the U.S. due to her education visa violation.  Despite being an ocean apart, Anna and Jacob attempt to carry on their relationship, ultimately with heartbreaking difficulty.

Like Crazy – starring Anton Yelchin, Felicity Jones, and Jennifer Lawrence – breaks hearts starting October 28, 2011 on a limited release.
