Review: ‘Silver Linings Playbook’
“Silver Linings Playbook” is a darkly humorous story of family, mental illness and love that will leave you with lots to think about before you head home for the holidays. Starring Bradley Cooper and “The Hunger Games” star Jennifer Lawrence, the movie is sharp, engaging and surprisingly relatable. Director David O. Russell (“The Fighter”) crafts a compelling dynamic between several strong actors, and the end result is an unorthodox take on love and personal struggle.
