Typical Hollywood cliché

Rating: 7/10 (18 January 2013)

I give this movie a generous 7/10 only because it handled the issue of bi- polar disorder quite well and the performances were solid. However, other than that, this movie was nothing special.
Typical Hollywood cliché. Predictable all the way through, relatively uninteresting script, extremely cliché finale. SLP had heaps of potential. It was good, but could have been MUCH better!
I feel I might be pessimistic, but the run at the Oscars this year with the Best Picture Nominees has been disappointing, with not a single film giving me that amazing special feeling I have gotten in the past. Only Amour and Zero Dark Thirty await my viewing. I hope they're better than the average quality of film presented in the past year.
