Review of Cake (2014) by Billy B — 19 Jan 2015
Patrick Tobin's laser-sharp script provides a profound template for complex performances by Jennifer Aniston, Adriana Barraza, Anna Kendrick, and Felicity Huffman.
Sam Worthington crackles with intensity in this perceptive and refreshingly unapologetic film about rage, pain and loss.
Our culture wants us to forgive. Sociopaths want us to forgive and forget. "Cake" explores the difficulty of navigating the real and brutal emotions we face when a tragedy crashes in to our lives.
Though the name indicates a buttery, sweet confection, this "Cake" is a rich and savory course, best enjoyed with a hearty Cabernet and a couple of Vicodin.
