Not Every Cloud.

Rating: 6/10 (26 March 2017)

I'll start off like this; a lot of Oscar Nominations came this movies way, and even won one... I'm not exactly sure how, or why.
Personally for me, Bradley Cooper was just wrong for this role. There is a certain smoothness and charm that Cooper has, and cannot shake, thus, being this uncontrollable, bipolar and erratic loon just looked really silly, and again for me, exposed his limits.
Jennifer Lawrence was far better perhaps, but, this was not an Oscar Nomination performance, let alone a win. She was just the female version of Cooper... Pat and Tiffany were the same character in different genders, which makes character depth quite questionable.
Honestly, Lawrence was far better in The Hunger Games, than this movie, which again in my view, just reveals how the Oscars are prejudice against big budget blockbusters, just because they're big budget blockbusters.
De Niro, Weaver and Tucker were also very good, and a major part as to why I've rounded off the rating to a 6/10.
The story, direction and score, are not the best I've seen or heard. Things happen in this movie where you're like; "What, how?". There are also things that aren't quite resolved, or resolved properly at least.
I enjoyed this movie, as much as it allowed me to I guess, but, it does not at all deserve a single Oscar Nomination, just like how Pat and Tiffany didn't deserve the score they received at the dance competition.
I love the cast... The cast, is the best thing about this movie. Apart from that, it's choppy, nonsensical, a bit boring at points, but the acting ultimately, carried it quite well.
5/10 feels harsh, but somehow still appropriate... so, 5.5/10 from me.
