American Hustle, Silver Linings: This director honestly surprised me!
All right, so the only movie I had seen from Writer/Director David O.Russel was Three kings. A movie I always liked. Now I've watched my second and third movie from him this week (American Hustle) and Im impressed to the point that I added most of his others to my watchlist. He likes to work with Cooper, Lawrence and De Niro and apparently they do a good team. Just for this reason I'm anxious to watch Joy. As for Silver Linings Playbook, I found it charming, the drama was perfectly balanced and it's also funny. Great dialogues, good characters study and solid acting. It's been forever since I've seen it but it reminded me a little bit of Mozart and the Whale. Really good drama/romcom with a Refreshing take on the classic love story.
7.8/10
