Really enjoyed the movie !

Rating: 9/10 (30 December 2012)

The performances are outstanding and will recognized this award season. Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, and Robert De Niro will be honored. The writing is award caliber. Excellent original score and good use of music.
In a way, this film reminds me of Perks of Being a Wallflower....but for a different age group. Both are in my top three of the year. One is about discovering who you are at a young age and the journey that ensues. The other is discovering who you are at an older age, and the journey that ensues to make yourself better. Both are brilliant and poignant and brought a lump to my throat.
Verdict: Not a film for everyone I understand, however if you like a film that makes you think and keeps you entertained that's actually believable this is a film I'd strongly recommend.
