Like Crazy(La pazza gioia)

The Hollywood Reporter by Boyd van Hoeij

Even though one could argue that Bruni Tedeschi was typecast here, she takes the role and runs with it, beautifully grading the different nuances of her headstrong character, whose outward exuberance clearly hides a lot of hurt and a fear of loneliness.

Director Paolo Virzì, who co-wrote with Francesca Archibugi, keeps the jam-packed film moving apace with a whirlwind of high-wire emotionality, memorable set pieces and vivid location work.

The New York Times by Glenn Kenny

An energetic, visually attractive but ultimately irritating comedy-drama.

Variety by Jay Weissberg

Boasting a deliriously loquacious script together with a rare understanding of how to balance certain Italian caricatures with a grounding sense of realism – a combination that’s truly Virzì’s forte – the film takes two psychologically damaged women...and makes them into a mutually supportive duo who surprisingly touch our emotions.

Restless, at times even chaotic, the film often seems to be replicating the experience of having a manic episode.

Village Voice by Kenji Fujishima

Like Crazy seems content to coast on the contrast between Beatrice's abrasive energy and Donatella's quiet anguish, with neither character developed with depth sufficient to justify the time we spend with them.

Screen International by Lisa Nesselson

The film’s freewheeling energy is as appealing as its developments are unpredictable.

San Francisco Chronicle by Mick LaSalle

This is a movie that can be enjoyed in different ways and for lots of reasons. It’s dramatic and it’s funny, and it has a warm humanity at its center.
