Everyone should watch this

This film prompted me to sign up and write this review as I was really moved by it. Creating an impacting, engaging, enlightening and entertaining film which centres around mental health is not easy. It was achieved and excelled by Silver Linings Playbook. This unique narrative flows exceptionally well, with unexpected turns that draw you deeper into both the story and the inner workings of each character. I appreciate films that are able to do all of this, while conveying very important messages, such as the line of what determines 'crazy' running through every one of us. There were many fine details that went into how this was achieved and I was left seeing all the parallels in my own life and family. If you are looking for an intelligent film that elegantly conveys insight into mental health and takes you on a journey that will leave you feeling positive, emotive and moved; look no further.
