‘Silver Lining Playbook’  Movie Review by Tanmay

 

 

 

Starring :- Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence ,Robert De Niro ,Jacki Weaver , Chris Tucker, Anupam Kher

Director:- David O Russell

 

‘Silver Lining Playbook’, is adapted by the novel of same name by Mathew Quick. It is a story of a man suffering from bipolar disorder who is obsessed with his love for his wife who has left him after he badly beats her extra marital lover and goes to Hospital for a rehabilitation program.  When he comes back from Hospital how he gets his ‘love’, his social life, and his family life back completes the film.

Bradley cooper portrayal of man suffering from bipolar disorder is superb. This role is away from his usual cool dude roles in ( A Team, Hangover 1,2) He has worked on his body language ( gained a little weight)  and very ably plays the mood swings his character goes through the film. Jennifer Lawrence who plays mad, carefree ‘Tiffany’ is nominated for Oscar for best actress and rightly so, her strange character and equally strong portrayal by her is another shining point of the film.

And to make the tri star complete Robert De Niro act as bet loving, football crazy father is very good. It is the strong performance of the lead actors that makes this film stand tall. Anupam Kher has not much to boast in this film except for the fact that he shares the screen with Hollywood biggies.     

The film is essentially is cute, crazy love story of a slightly ‘mad’ guy who will make you fall in love with him. !
