***1⁄2
The immigration department gets in the way of an affair between an L.A. furniture maker and a British student due to head home when her visa expires.
She doesn’t, and opens up a world of hurt for them. While their enforced separation is bittersweet, and filled with longing, reality socks them into anxious reality.
They begin the legal process and a new enemy arises — time. Can love stand the test?
Heart-wrenching, often improvised performances make these spoiled kids relatable, and we viscerally feel their pain. Like Crazy is emotionally strenuous and rewarding.
