    #LetterboxdFriday #lastfourwatched 📽️ boxd.it/94Euv 1. Silver Linings Playbook – Chaotic rom-com, therapy by shouting 2. Good One – Quiet tensions, faces saying more than words 3. The River – Renoir goes tropical; everything drifts 4. Viridiana – Piety, provocation, Buñuel twisting the knife

    Jennifer Lawrence is one of those actors I go out of my way to watch even if I’m rlly not so interested in the movie bc truly she’s just so good and real and relatable. She hooked me in Winter’s Bone, I loved her in Silver Linings Playbook. And now I’m stuck w loyalty that exceeds cinematic value

    Seagoon's New To Me Movies. Today was *Silver Linings Playbook. * I think the movie is about coping with loss . How do people react to painful life events like betrayal, unexpected death of a loved one, loss of job and status. Seems to me the answer is love and kindness. So well acted and I love the depictions of male culture and male friendships. 4 hobbits :)

    If you explain the plot of Silver Linings Playbook you sound like you are just making a movie up Bradley Cooper is in prison for beating up a guy who slept with his wife, he lost a lot of weight in prison and used to be obese.

    I like the move 'Silver Linings Playbook.' I know ppl find it problematic but it's a genuinely smart/funny/romantic film, & I feel like this kind of movie is the rarest kind of movie, maybe the rarest kind of story, period. Also, it's my all-time favorite De Niro performance. Shoulda won the Oscar.

    Watched the first Hunger Games. Been a fan of Jennifer Lawrence since the Silver Linings Playbook. She was great in American Hustle and Winter’s Bone. Katniss is her most famous role. As an actress, she can communicate as much with expression as dialogue. Generational talent. #movies #film

    **her** 3.5/5: As a 2013 release this is a very interesting retrospective watch. I will say that this movie doesn't have a lot of dialogue, it has a lot of characters monologuing in each others direction ending on some line they think is going to be really impactful **Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die** 4.5/5: I continue to say, Sam Rockwell is not the best actor in the world, but man is he good at picking very interesting movies. This is really fun and is right on the nose about what it's saying…

    Is Silver Linings Playbook a Thanksgiving movie? I’m pretty sure it ends on Christmas, but it’s full of football, Fall, and family drama, with a bunch of scenes where everyone come back to mom and dad’s house for a meal. Pretty sure it qualifies.
