Silver Linings Playbook gives us four performers to relish.
January 04, 2013
Silver Linings Playbook tells us that happily-ever-after may depend on finding people who coexist with our lunacy, not ones who can lead us out of it. In any case, it's crazy good.
January 04, 2013
A crazy beaut of a comedy that brims with generosity and manages to circumvent predictability at every turn.

Writer-director Russell is just the guy to bring out (and then calm) the manic dysfunction in these folks.
November 21, 2012
An edgy romantic dramedy that suits our anxious times.

"Silver Linings Playbook" makes comic hay from bipolar illness, early death, sexual adventurism, self-improvement binges, football fanaticism, degenerate gambling and father-son estrangement, as one would expect from latter-day Russell movies.

But Silver Linings Playbook never induces a roll of the eyes, even if it never really surprises.

Wouldn't it be great if mental illness really was as adorable as it is in the movies?

It's a challenging picture, but it runs the gamut of emotions so well that it's nearly impossible to dislike.

In an age when the concept of comedies about possible kinships between characters is dominated by sugary devices and contrivance, here at last is a movie about real situations, real people and the natural experiences that evolve from them.
January 04, 2013
It's a rom-com that succeeds in revitalizing that discredited genre where so many others have failed, injecting it with the grit and emotion of realist drama rather than with amped-up whimsy or social satire or montages of people walking on the beach.

This meaningful film keeps the laughs, giddy anxiousness and warm butterflies from the trailer and sustains it all through two full hours of a love story.
