Celeste and Jesse should be the ultimate lovers. They complement each other perfectly, sharing many hobbies and finishing each other's sentences. And so their best friends Beth and Tucker are flabbergasted when they find out the newly married couple has unexpectedly separated. But nothing changes much at first: Celeste and Jesse still spend a lot of time together and even live next door to each other. Friendship without love: can that work?

30-year-old director Lee Krieger's Celeste and Jesse Forever is a bittersweet, charming and warm story about a couple trying to achieve the perfect separation. The dialogues are witty and delightful, meeting the benchmark set by Woody Allen's Annie Hall. The end result is a comfortable, warm, melancholic film that easily takes on Marc Webb's masterpiece (500) Days of Summer from 2009.
