Mental health is a sensitive, nuanced and layered subject that has rarely translated to genuinely superlative motion pictures. For every Clean, Shaven there’s a Lars and the Real Girl, with little in between.
That is until Like Crazy. Paolo Virzi has come back to screens with his latest effort, and while it’s not quite up to the par of a film like Human Capital, this gorgeous and engaging look at two women and their struggle both in and out of their own heads is a small delight in a stuffed 2017 summer film season.
Introducing the viewer to the tenants of Villa Biondi, Like Crazy tells the specific story of Beatrice and Donatella, two troubled women who find a certain connection after escaping their clinic. Beatrice is a loud mouthed, energetic woman with thoughts of grandeur styling herself as a billionaire countess with close ties to the biggest players in world politics.
