Best Movie I've Seen In At Least A Decade

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2013)

Just when you would have been forgiven for thinking Hollywood had exhausted all ideas (going on recent years), consigned us to nothing but annoying animated crap, ior rebooting much loved (and better left alone) franchises, comes this movie.
It is easily the best movie I've seen in a decade, if not much longer.
Cast: Perfect, not a soft performance amongst them. Bradley Cooper shows that he's not just the Hangover guy, or the comedic lead, he's a seriously good dramatic actor and deserves respect for this role. I myself have aspergers and have some behaviours that identify with bipolar sufferers. At no point was Bradleys portrayal less than believable to the point where i identified with his character. Respect.
Jennifer Lawrence likewise got her character to be believable as well, and must also be respected for her portrayal. She's utterly charming, when not being equally s schizo as Bradley. Being beautiful as well is just the icing....
Robert De Niro, just continues to be the best actor (with i think the greatest face) of our generation. We would all be happy just to watch him eat toast for breakfast in the morning. His character runs the gamut of emotions in this movie, just as much, if not more, than the other leads. He never disappoints.
Jackie Weaver, high time she got such a great mainstream role. a fellow Aussie, she plays the perfect caught in the middle housewife. great work! Im only writing about the characters here as thats what this film is about. There's no distractions, no big explosions, nothing to detract from the characters being fully explored and evolving. Not even Jennifer Lawrences amazing body in the dance related scenes distract you from staying superglued to the stories arc and following all the characters developments, because its that well done, and that takes some doing! I hope its not another decade before i actually see another movie that can even come close to this. Just perfect.
