And now I get to go through the phases of reminding myself that I'm not crazy. I just have a higher taste in cinema. As you might have already guessed, I'm not liking the trailer for Like Crazy at all. It's sad, because I heard there was good reception coming out of Sundance, and I guess you can't trust anyone but yourself. I'm usually into these mellow sort of films, but aside from the fact that you can't hear a damn thing the characters are saying, it just looks really dull and kind of dumb. Not to mention the feeling like I've seen it before in the much better form of Blue Valentine. It is kind of pretty, and I'll give it that.
I'm curious, why the Blue Valentine comparison?
ReplyDeleteThey both deal with similar themes of relationships going sour, and there's also a touch of "500 Days of Summer", but this is played linear. I imagine something generally weaker.
