Realistic and Heartwrenching

Rating: 10/10 (11 April 2020)

My brother has Bipolar, similar to Bradley Cooper's character in Silver Linings Playbook. I stumbled upon this movie by mistake and chose to watch it because of Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper. By the end, I was in tears. This movie (which is an adaptation of the book) is so incredibly emotional as it chronicles the attempt of Cooper's character to manage his life, despite his mental health. Jennifer Lawrence is a welcome addition to the cast in one of her most serious and well-acted roles to date. This film is a must watch of 2012 and will always hold a spot in my library.
