Only Lovers Left Alive

Offbeat, languorous, worldweary, and crammed with hipster in-jokes, Only Lovers Left Alive is a a lush, poignant, intelligent piece of horror poetry; a moody fantasy love story with swaths of succulence for you to sink your teeth into; and a nighttime reverie that incidentally celebrates a marriage that has lasted untold centuries.

Like Crazy

Wistful, bittersweet, pleasantly diverting, and brimming with sincerity, Like Crazy is one of the best kinds of romance: it balances the romantic and the realistic, it focuses on the couple themselves (along with a few ill-conceived lovers), and it rarely takes itself too seriously. By accurately capturing the whimsy of first love and keeping melodrama at a distance, Like Crazy turns a schmaltzy story into a subdued knockout.
