Lost in my mind

Rating: 9/10 (11 October 2015)

For someone who wasn't even interested in seeing this movie to begin with, I ended up seeing it twice in theaters and setting a reminder to myself for when it was released on DVD. Such a humble movie that shows the disorders of the mind in a very effective way. The situation is brutal and honest, not to mention the brilliant performances of the cast: obviously Bradley Cooper, and Jennifer Lawrence in particular. Being a fan of Bradley Cooper, it was amazing to see him in a role he's never done before and just absolutely nail it. Where was an Oscar for this role? He had a way of making the audience laugh with his no filter one liners about a disease that is, in reality, actually really serious. He made the character his own and didn't disappoint. Jennifer Lawrence rightfully deserved her Oscar playing Tiffany. With her heartbreaking meltdowns and quotes that we can all sometimes relate to. It's not a confusing plot. It's people trying to move on and continue with normality in their lives despite their mental illnesses and other things that happen. It shows a real but funny look on how to deal with these certain circumstances that can have a stigma behind on why we sometimes just crack.
