Critics' reviews

"A terrific comedy-drama about two women in a mental institution that avoids the pitfalls such a scenario could encounter and boasts delicious dialogue with a rare sense of balance."

Jay Weissberg: Variety
"A pleasingly warm, human and female take on the subject, shot through with Virzi’s customary attention to not only the characters but also the wider socio-political background."

Boyd van Hoeij: The Hollywood Reporter
"The film’s freewheeling energy is as appealing as its developments are unpredictable."

Lisa Nesselson: Screendaily
"The two lead actresses are superb and Virzi keeps the plot road real and clear of cliched speed humps. The emotional ending is beautifully handled."

The Australian
"A wildly entertaining road trip (…) Beatrice is a gift of a role for Tedeschi, who gives it everything she’s got (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"

Herald Sun
"'Like Crazy' keeps its most powerful moments for the end, when our investment in their stories delivers its payload."

Andrew L. Urban: Urbancinefile
