Drake Doremus directed this tender, heart-wrenching drama about partners Anna (Felicity Jones) and Jacob (Anton Yelchin), torn apart by visa complications. When it isn't about the charmingly awkward chemistry, the sweet montages of somber piano or sensual silence convey an understanding between Anna and Jacob where words aren't needed -- they are incredibly charming together. It's not a feel-good flick; the drama later on can be upsettingly genuine or cynical, realistically portraying the lov...

The shortest, most minimalistic pick of the lot is Ldr, a mini-film directed and starring James Kleinmann about two men going through their relationship with online calls. It won't win awards for best acting or story, but there are a few examples of the solace long-distance relationships can bring during personal adversities while depicting LGBTQ+ romance. Ldr is mostly a story about Jame's character. It's an intimate relationship between two men, with its phone-filmed footage and sound issue...

Director Nora Ephron was carrying the romance genre on her back in the '90s and early 2000s, and somehow both her long-distance movies — You've Got Mail and Sleepless in Seattle— star Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. It's certainly aged, but it's part of the charm, and at least a crowd pleaser among the many sadder long-distance romance flicks. Even if it is dated, it is one of the best movies with an online relationship. Ryan radiates a charm to combat and compliments Hanks's sarcasm and wit when the...

No romance list is complete without Joe Wright and Christopher Hampton's 2007 film adaption of Ian McEwan's Atonement, a film about a growing girl's misunderstanding leading to the destruction of a love tale. Due to the storytelling devices of the film, some scenes exhibited by Cecilia (Keira Knightley) and Robbie (James McAvoy) are technically not real, but the love they share in their letters and time together still is.

For people wanting a small break from the typical romance films, Makoto Shinkai's Voices Of A Distant Star (or Hoshi No Koe) presents a long-distance short film with a sci-fi backdrop. The twenty-five-minute movie is not as happy or well-known as Your Name, but unlike that movie, it does far better in the earnest emotion of showing protagonists Mikako and Noboru desperate to communicate with each other — regardless of time, space, or war. The mecha-anime segments are small, and the main draw...
