Yawn

Rating: 3/10 (27 February 2014)

What an overrated film. I generously give it a 3 out of 10. It was so boring, with average (at best) performances, excluding that of Lawrence, who was the only one who brought some sparkle on screen (performance-wise).
It shouldn't in any way have nominations in any of the big categories. How can they have nominated Christian Bale for that specific performance (he is a really good actor in general) and leave outside Mads Mikkelsen for "The Hunt", for example? How on earth was Amy Adams better than Adele Exarchopoulos, Emma Thompson or Julie Delpy this year and so many others? What did Adams do that phenomenal to be nominated when compared to them? I won't object to Lawrence's nomination but I don't think she should win in her category this year either. I won't even mention Bradley Cooper's nomination.
I have to give them credit for their PR and marketing team though, they surely know how to buy Hollywood.
