THE ASTOR REVIEW

Anna and Jacob seem destined to suffer the bittersweet sting of their own, “like crazy” romance in a world where fairytales don’t exist and love can’t necessarily conquer all. Instead, it is practicality and red tape that plays dictator; even where the most essential matters of the heart are concerned. Jones and Yelchin’s performances are so naturalistic it hurts. You’ll need tissues. And whiskey. TJ
