Silver Linings Playbook

After a stint in a mental institution, former teacher Pat Solitano moves back in with his parents and tries to reconcile with his ex-wife. Things get more challenging when Pat meets Tiffany, a mysterious girl with problems of her own.

Went to watch this because my amazing sister won the tickets on this random site (which I was dying to see in the first place). Ok, let me just say I fucking loved it. JLaw (Jennifer LawrenceI love you! You were amazing, every aspect of you in the film was pure and natural. I respected her character so much because when you watch it, her character gives you an insight and feeling that you really shouldn't give a shit what people think about you. Bradley Cooper did an amazing job in this film too! I actually don't like him, I get sick of seeing at his face all the time but I had to forget about it or I'd just ruin the movie for myself. But really, his character was mental (obviously), funny and quite charming it was good to see these two actors together because their chemistry was different from other actors. You kind of have to understand the little things in this film to understand the plot but it's easy to catch on and if it doesn't get to you straight away you'll get the whole picture after the movie. The scenes in this film were great, it's was always climaxing and it kept climaxing. Robert De Niro and Jacki Weaver play Bradley Cooper's parents in the film. They're so cute and natural, I just wanted to give Jacki a hug! I love them so much, they aren't faking anything, it's what you would expect from such great actors portraying graceful ageing parents. The whole cast is actually like this big family going through the same shit and I absolutely love it! Bradley and Jennifer's characters in this film are quite the same but different, they connect in a way where if this was real life you would think they were nuts but it's a beautiful connection. The plot always has to speak through the actors and it was well done. We see so many levels of real life scenarios in this film but they aren't really announced and if you see them you keep it to yourself and your having your own little moment.Their relationship is something I adore and quite relate-able to people who feel they can't have the person they have feelings for. This movie reminds me of how we all have our  breakdowns and your sick of keeping it bottled inside, you scream it out and there's someone there to scream with you, the craziness is intense but it feels good. Sometimes I want to fucking scream too and that's why I loved this movie, because I felt like I was screaming along with them but really I was only watching, (it's not like I could scream, would have gotten kicked out of the cinema)

What audience would you recommend this to?
Seriously but I would recommend this to people who feel like they can't relate to their peers or  crowds. *people who feel like shit*

/5 stars
