Sundance may be over, but it’s not too late for you to get a peak of some of the festival’s hottest properties.
First up is Drake Doremus‘ Like Crazy, a drama our own Jordan Raup described as, “an intensely personal film….This is the story of Jacob (Anton Yelchin) and Anna (Felicity Jones), a couple experiencing the journey of a long-distance relationship. Mostly improvised from a 50-page outline, there are moments of genuine truth and beauty.”
This tale of rough romance got a lot of love, winning Sundance’s top honor: the Grand Jury Prize (Dramatic). Now you can get an idea of what all the hubbub is about, thanks to these clips courtesy of Vulture (via The Playlist).

Now for a total/tonal change of pace, Fox Searchlight is giddily offering up some clips from their upcoming comedy, Cedar Rapids, which stars Ed Helms, John C. Reilly, Anne Heche, Alia Shawkat and Isiah Whitlock, Jr.
Film Stage reviewer, Raffi Asdourian, called it, “a highly enjoyable comedy that is filled with laughs and heart.” The film centers on a naïve insurance salesman, who finds himself taken under the wing of three convention veterans when he makes his first trip away from home.

So what do you think? Do these clips have you more/less interested in seeking out Like Crazy and Cedar Rapids?
