And, of all things, it was David Lynch's flicks that made me realize, No, that's okay, sometimes stories have happy endings. I don't want to spoil the Lynch flicks I'm referring to (incase you haven't seen them) but a few of his movies are very very dark but have perfect, bow-wrapped endings. Lynch means it to be ironic, which certainly isn't David O. Russell's intent. But my point is, I was satisfied with the SLP ending. Will they be all right forever? No, certainly not. But they're well on their way.<br /><br />Thanks SO MUCH for trawling your way through my reviews to check this one out.

And then I went to Lette...I FINALLY SAW THIS TODAY! And then I went to Letterboxd and couldn't find your rating, so I trawled through your archive to find (well, not really 'trawled' but you know)...<br />It was a lovely, lovely film and JLaw (yes, I call her that now) was outstanding. My annoyance at Riva not winning an Oscar has now been lessened, because yes, I agree, her role as Tiffany was definitely Oscar worthy. <br />Alas for Bradley Cooper, he still has one Hangover film to go! But maybe now he'll stop accepting those type scripts for a while. He was outstanding, truly inhabited his character. <br />As a film about dealing and coping with mental illness, I thought it was nicely done, but without trying to spoil it in the comments (though I guess it's been long enough for most people to have seen it) I feel like the ending maybe wraps things up a bit too nicely? I just finished a book in which the main character deals with severe depression, and one of the things that was reiterated was that it's different for every person and it's episodic. The character says that she's been through it before, and it's changed her, and she'll be dealing with it forever now. She'll be at places she is 'better' but she'll never be completely as she was. I think SLP could have emphasised that a bit more perhaps, it felt very happily ever after in a way. But what I did love was that EVERYONE was dealing with something in this film - EVERYONE! And you're right - it's silly, and crazy, and hard as it is to believe what we're seeing, we just do!

I'm so lucky I had a chance to see this at a film festival, before it hit regular cinemas, for that reason exactly. All's I can offer is that the film, and Lawrence's work in it, are definitely worthy of the hype. They're that good.Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-8435011463794674152012-11-21T16:43:32.144-05:002012-11-21T16:43:32.144-05:00I really can't wait to see this one, sounds ve...I really can't wait to see this one, sounds very good and I like the fact it's silly, yet still it delivers. The only thing I don't like is that Jennnifer Lawrence (who I love very much) is already getting huge reviews and enormous pressure because of this role and I am afraid many will get bored of the favorite, a phenomenon that happens every year. Plus, let's not forget that she is young and not extremely known, so that might hurt her chances to an Oscar, although I am rooting for her for sure.

I obviously really dug his work here, but I can understand how and why people would not, so fair enough, no doubt.<br /><br />Honestly didn't pick up on any racial stereotypes whatsoever in this, and I try to be pretty aware of that stuff. I thought the film painted everyone in an appropriately pathetic and earnest light. But, again, your thoughts are interesting to me.<br /><br />Although we disagree, thanks so much for reading and commenting.
