"Calm down, crazy!"
I loved this movie. Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence have the best performances of their careers to date. Cooper's character is erratic and unpredictable but driven by love. Lawrence's character masquerades a tough exterior protecting a big heart capable of being broken. Both characters are vibrant in their own right and are even more volatile when they collide. Their interactions together help shape who they are as individuals. David O. Russell's energetic direction further emphasizes the characters' mindsets with quick zooms and pans which draw attention to themselves. He's proven in
The Fighter that he can successfully convey the family dynamics of a set of complicated individuals. There's an urgency in the film that's hard to describe. It's a palpable energy.
Silver Linings Playbook is an all around good movie that hinges upon the creation of real life drama with real life characters & emotion.
4.5 out of 5
