<p>From 28-year-old filmmaker Drake Doremus comes one of the most engrossing and affecting films about young love in years: a semi-autobiographical drama about an American boy (Anton Yelchin) and a British girl (Felicity Jones) who meet in college; fall in love; are torn apart by forces beyond their control; fight to get back together again; and, along the way, begin to question if the struggle is worth the pain it causes both of them. Doremus and his best friend/writing partner Ben York Jones presented the actors not with a traditional script to be followed line-by-line, but rather with a bunch of scenarios that they wanted the actors to follow wherever they led them. They turned on their lightweight digital cameras just one week after Yelchin and Jones first met (remarkable considering how much chemistry exists between the two), and rarely turned them off over the course of the next month, during which the actors remained in-character and constructed a relationship of their own. (The chair at the center of the film was constructed by a professional chair-maker, but the vast majority of the letters, photos, and other mementos are the work of the actors themselves.) The film premiered last January at Sundance, where the film was awarded the Grand Jury Prize, Jones was voted a Special Jury Prize for her performance, and Paramount won a bidding war for its domestic distribution rights. It hasn&#39;t made a fortune at the box-office since its release, which seems particularly unjust when one considers how many people swooned and cried over, say, The Notebook (2004), which this film exceeds in every respect. Indeed, like all of the best films about young love -- from Wuthering Heights (1939) to Love Story (1970) to Blue Valentine (2010) -- it offers an unvarnished look at its good, bad, and ugly sides, and leaves you rooting for the two people at its center to find a way to work things out.</p>
