Film of 2012

Rating: 8/10 (14 December 2012)

A rom-com in which two broken people find each other but so very much more, every one is neurotic, bi-polar, OCD, superstitious, depressed or all of the above. Teeters on the edge of mayhem at all times and both touching and hilarious in equal measure.
Lawrence is as wonderful as ever but it's Cooper that steals the show, surely an Oscar worthy performance, I had no idea he had that in him. It's also De Niro's best performance this century.
The blandness of the final pay off and understated romance makes the clichéd ending all the more effective, and feel far less clichéd. An amazing film, being mental has never been this cool. Might just be my favourite film of the year. An absolute must see.
