Review of Silver Linings Playbook (2012) by Lucas Y — 28 Jan 2017
This drama is easy to get invested into because of it's great screenplay and A list cast. Bradley Cooper hits a career best and you always know you're going to get something good out of Robert De Niro.
Jennifer Lawrence was 50/50 for me. On one side, when she was calm and even tempered, I thought her performance was subtlety brilliant. However, when she was shouting and screaming, I thought it was over the top (which she does often do) and it seemed like she was begging for the Oscar.
Which payed off because she won. That is my only problem though because other than that, it is well directed, it has hilarious humour and some important messages.
