A Great movie!

Rating: 9/10 (20 January 2014)

Finally completed the movie. What can I say? Exceptionally good movie, Silver Linings Playbook is. The message of the movie was very well presented; that there is hope for people who are deemed as outcasts by the society. And how love can control even the harshest of illnesses.
Every actor in the movie was extraordinary; especially Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. Jennifer Lawrence never fails to amaze me. The ease with which she plays different roles is breath-taking; surely one of the best versatile actresses in the industry. A very well deserved Oscar for the lady.
Bradley Cooper showed why he is one of my favourite actors; his performance was sublime - he showcased every emotion known to mankind in an exemplary manner, be it venting anger or oozing care. He did it all. He really deserved an Oscar for this performance.
And do I need to say anything about the legend Robert de Niro? I don't think I need to, but I still will: his character of Pat Sr., at times, seemed more crazy than Cooper's Pat Jr.. And he pulled it off brilliantly, as he has done for decades now. Actors like de Niro don't come every day, we should cherish him while we can.
A shout-out to Jacki Weaver and Chris Tucker for their amazing acting as well.
A 9/10 movie for me.
