Going the Distance

About This Movie

Going the Distance has this laid-back vibe that captures the ups and downs of long-distance relationships. Erin and Garrett's love feels real, with relatable moments sprinkled throughout. The chemistry between Drew Barrymore and Justin Long is palpable, and you can sense their connection even when separated by coasts. Nanette Burstein’s direction brings a nice balance of humor and drama, never letting it tip too far into either side. The pacing keeps you engaged, with a mix of light-hearted banter and more serious reflections on commitment. It's refreshing how it avoids typical rom-com tropes and instead, feels grounded. The supporting cast adds layers too, making the whole experience richer, and the practical effects, like the video calls, give it an intimate touch that works well.
